+get a ``ModuleNotFoundError`` when importing pygmt in Jupyter, you may need to
+install a ``pygmt`` kernel following the commands below::
+
+    conda activate pygmt
+    python -m ipykernel install --user --name pygmt  # install conda environment properly
+    jupyter kernelspec list --json
+
+After that, you need to restart Jupyter, open your notebook, select the
+``pygmt`` kernel and then import pygmt.
