I'm using Linux and I already tried sudo pip3 install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel and tried install dotenv again but that didn't work. I also tried sudo easy_install -U setuptools but that didn't work either. I also tried installing another module and it worked, but not for dotenv.

Answer: Oh it's because the package is called python-dotenv not dotenv.
