No module named fake useragent

Question

I'm trying to use the PyTrends module that is available on Github (here). To use this script I need to install the fake-useragent module with:

pip install fake-useragent

However, every time I import the file and attempt execute commands in console, I get the following error:

>>> from pytrends2.pyGTrends import pyGTrends
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "pytrends2.py", line 18, in <module>
    from fake_useragent import UserAgent
ImportError: No module named fake_useragent

I've tried different things and had no luck. When trying to make sure the dependency modules are installed with:

pip install pyyaml ua-parser user-agents

... I get the following:

You probably want to install the development libraries for your Linux first. Make sure you have all development packages installed.

If you do operate on Ubuntu try to run this first

sudo apt-get install gcc libyaml-dev libpython2.7-dev 

You will be able then to install your required python libraries.

pip install pyyaml ua-parser user-agents fake-useragent
