@JUAN_SALAZAR,

please check the installation path of your libraries. Make sure they are available.
for better clarity, i would suggest to you use python “virtual environments”.
create a virtual env and then install the “google-genai” package using pip. that should solve the problem in general.

if the problem still persists, please give more details on the error messages you got.

hope that answers your question.

i fixed the problem changing the way of importing my libraries.

the incorrect import:
from google import genai
from genai import types

the correct import:
import google.generativeai as genai
from google.generativeai import types

import google.generativeai as genai

is importing but google.generativeai doesn’t have the attribute Client.

You can simply use this pip install google-genai, then use client = genai.Client(api_key="GEMINI_API_KEY")
