I am doing " [AI Python for Beginners](https://community.deeplearning.ai/c/course-q-a/ai-python-for-beginners/463)]" on deeplearning.ai.  
The course uses a library called “helper\_functions” to interact with openAI chatbot.  
I have a miniforge installation.  
When I try to get functions from the library in Jupyter Notebook, in my local environment, it says that the module does not exist.  
I have downloaded the helper\_functions.py from deeplearning.ai repository on github and placed it in the directory C:\ProgramData\miniforge3\Scripts\>.  
Still it does not work.  
Can anyone help?

Just put the helper\_funtions.py in the same folder as your notebooks and then `import helper_functions` or if you only want specific function you could `from helper_function import something, otherthing, etc`
