How do I install sympy in Python?

The standard way to install sympy is by running `python -m pip install sympy`. If you are using Anaconda, use `conda install -c conda-forge sympy`.

Why causes the 'No module named sympy' error?

This error occurs when the python interpreter cannot locate the `sympy` package. It is often caused by missing installation or environment mismatch (e.g. installing in global but running in venv).
