Python does not find packages installed without Anaconda

I'm trying to install kivy for python 3 using apt-get:

 sudo apt-get install python3-kivy

And it is installed in

 /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages

But, when I tried to load it in python, I get a ModuleNotFoundError

 Python 3.6.3 |Anaconda custom (64-bit)| (default, Oct 13 2017, 12:02:49) [GCC 7.2.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import kivy Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'kivy'

When I check the system path from python, I only get packages in Anaconda:

 >>> import sys >>> print('\n'.join(sys.path)) /home/santiago/anaconda3/lib/python36.zip /home/santiago/anaconda3/lib/python3.6 /home/santiago/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/lib-dynload /home/santiago/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages /home/santiago/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/torchvision-0.2.0-py3.6.egg

Is there any way to include the '/usr/lib/python3' path to Anaconda?

Thanks.

Anaconda isolate your python environment from the rest of the system. Thus, you only can use python packages installed with conda or anaconda pip version.

conda install -c conda-forge kivy
