%load_ext tikzmagic results in ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tikzmagic'

[Christoph Kukulies]

I'm trying to use tikzmagic in a Jupyter notebook (Python 3.6.6) to no avail.

I followed the instructions in this link https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30602433/jupyter-how-to-make-simple-illustrations/30655036#30655036

.

Whenever I put the line

%load_ext tikzmagic

in my Jupyter notebook, I'm getting:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any clues?
