ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_socket' error when installing Python Packages

Issue Description

The error occurs when installing some Python packages (modules) within JMP 18's Python environment. This is caused by the folder structure of JMP's Python environment.

Resolution

To resolve this error:

  1. Create a DLLs subdirectory under the parent folder where the JMP.exe lives. This will be either: C:\Program Files\JMP\JMPPRO\18 or C:\Program Files\JMP\JMP\18.
  2. Copy all the .pyd files from the root of the JMP 18 directory to the DLLs created in step 1.
  3. Copy the following .dll files into the DLLs subdirectory:
    • libcrypto-3.dll
    • libffi-9.dll
    • libssl-3.dll
    • sqlite3.dll 
  4. Restart JMP 18.
