Hello all,

I’m trying to `Scikitlearn.jl` package to learn ML with Julia (I’m trying to transition from python to Julia). However, for the life of me I can’t get the `@sk_import` to work with me. I keep getting the following error:

```julia
[ Info: scikit-learn isn't properly installed.Please make sure PyCall is using the default Conda or non-conda local python.

```

I understand there’s some mismatching with the paths for installation, but I can’t figure out what’s the deal. I have a PyCall and Conda installation within julia using `] add PyCall` and `] add Conda`. I also have linux wide installation of both python and Conda. I’ve tried using each by setting the `ENV["PYTHON"]` variable to either, but nothing worked, I keep getting the same error.

Is there anything I’m doing wrong? Or am I just doomed?  
On the opposite note, is there maybe a better package than `Scikitlearn.jl` to learn julia ML with?

Thanks!
