Python newbie here. I am trying to install PuLP. So I do a pip install Pulp in conda command prompt and looks like pulp gets installed. I run a conda list and I can see that PuLP is there in the list (please see image).

However, when I try importing PuLP in IDLE,i get an error and I also can't see PuLP in the list of environments in Anaconda navigator (not sure if I am supposed to).

If Pulp is in the list, why can't I import it or see it in Navigator. Any inputs will be appreciated.

You have installed an standalone Python, and other Python with Anaconda.

First, if you installed a package by the pip, it is O.K. that it is not displayed in installed packages in Anaconda environment(s) (as you installed it out of Anaconda) and at the same time it is fully functional.

Second, you have to install PuLP again for your standalone Python (with the same pip install command - this time not in conda command prompt, but directly in you OS console / terminal / DOS-prompt (depends of your OS).
