It’s about matrices and vectors – and doing operations on top of them.

Think about linear algebra in school (or university) – NumPy is the Python library for it. The collection of tools in the Pandas package is an essential resource for preparing, transforming, and aggregating data in Python.NumPy is a Python library that allows you to perform numerical calculations. If using Pip3, run the following command: pip3 install -upgrade numpyīy following this guide, you should have successfully installed NumPy on your system.Ĭheck out our introduction tutorial on Python Pandas, an open-source Python library primarily used for data analysis, which is built on top of the NumPy package and is compatible with a wide array of existing modules. If you already have NumPy and want to upgrade to the latest version, for Pip2 use the command: pip install -upgrade numpy Once you are in the python or python3 prompt you can import the new package and add an alias for it (in the example below it is np): import numpy as np Upgrading NumPy To do so, move to the python prompt by typing one of the following commands: python python3 Step 5: Import the NumPy PackageĪfter installing NumPy you can import the package and set an alias for it. The output should confirm you have NumPy, which version you are using, as well as where the package is stored.

Use the show command to verify whether NumPy is now part of you Python packages: pip show numpy If you are working on this OS, the command to install NumPy with Python 3 is: python3 -m pip install numpy.

Note: The commands are the same for all operating systems except for Fedora.
