Getting started

Hello all. I am just getting started in Quantopian as a new algo trader. I am attempting to complete the tutorial course, but I am a bit confused. The course is instructing me to command from quantopian.research import returns, symbols. However, when using JupyterNotebook, it claims that there is no module named quantopian. How do I get around this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps you are running the notebook on your computer's environment?
Quantopian imports only work on quantopian's website - go to the menue on the top of this page --> research --> notebooks (alternatively hit the 'clone' button on the tutorial notebook)
Hope that helps
