I have a very similar question to this question, but I am still one step behind. I have only one version of Python 3 installed on my Windows 7 (sorry) 64-bit system.
I installed NumPy following this link - as suggested in the question. The installation went fine but when I execute
import numpy
I got the following error:
Import error: No module named numpy
You can simply use
pip install numpy
Or for python3, use
pip3 install numpy
Support for Python 3 was added in NumPy version 1.5.0, so to begin with, you must download/install a newer version of NumPy.
Or simply using pip:
python3 -m pip install numpy
Installing Numpy on Windows
Open Windows command prompt with administrator privileges (quick method: Press the Windows key. Type "cmd". Right-click on the
suggested "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administrator)
Navigate to the Python installation directory's Scripts folder using the "cd" (change directory) command. e.g. "cd C:\Program Files (x86)\PythonXX\Scripts"
This might be: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\PythonXX\Scripts or C:\Program Files (x86)\PythonXX\Scripts (where XX represents the Python version number), depending on where it was installed. It may be easier to find the folder using Windows explorer, and then paste or type the address from the Explorer address bar into the command prompt.
Enter the following command: "pip install numpy".
You should see something similar to the following text appear as the package is downloaded and installed.

I think there are something wrong with the installation of numpy.
Here are my steps to solve this problem.
go to this website to download correct package: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/
unzip the package
go to the document
use this command to install numpy: python setup.py install
I also had this problem (Import Error: No module named numpy) but in my case it was a problem with my PATH variables in Mac OS X. I had made an earlier edit to my .bash_profile file that caused the paths for my Anaconda installation (and others) to not be added properly.
Just adding this comment to the list here in case other people like me come to this page with the same error message and have the same problem as I had.
You can try:
py -3 -m pip install anyPackageName
In your case use:
py -3 -m pip install numpy
You should try to install numpy using one of those:
pip install numpy
pip2 install numpy
pip3 install numpy
For some reason in my case pip2 solved the problem
Faced with same issue
ImportError: No module named numpy
So, in our case (we are use PIP and python 2.7) the solution was SPLIT pip install commands :
From
RUN pip install numpy scipy pandas sklearn
TO
RUN pip install numpy scipy
RUN pip install pandas sklearn
Solution found here : https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/issues/25193, it's related latest update of pandas to v0.24.0
You installed the Numpy Version for Python 2.6 - so you can only use it with Python 2.6. You have to install Numpy for Python 3.x, e.g. that one: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.1/numpy-1.6.1-win32-superpack-python3.2.exe/download
For an overview of the different versions, see here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.6.1/
I had this problem too after I installed Numpy. I solved it by just closing the Python interpreter and reopening. It may be something else to try if anyone else has this problem, perhaps it will save a few minutes!
I had numpy installed on the same environment both by pip and by conda, and simply removing and reinstalling either was not enough.
I had to reinstall both.
I don't know why it suddenly happened, but the solution was
pip uninstall numpy
conda uninstall numpy
uninstalling from conda also removed torch and torchvision.
then
conda install pytorch-cpu torchvision-cpu -c pytorch
and
pip install numpy
this resolved the issue for me.
For those using python 2.7, should try:
apt-get install -y python-numpy
Instead of pip install numpy
I too faced the above problem with phyton 3 while setting up python for machine learning.
I followed the below steps :-
Install python-2.7.13.msi
• set PATH=C:\Python27
• set PATH=C:\Python27\Scripts
Go to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy

You can test the correctness using below cmds:-

I'm not sure exactly why I was getting the error, but pip3 uninstall numpy then pip3 install numpy resolved the issue for me.
Those who are using xonsh, do xpip install numpy.
For installing NumPy via Anaconda(use below commands):
conda install -c conda-forge numpy
conda install -c conda-forge/label/broken numpy
import numpy as np
ImportError: No module named numpy
I got this even though I knew numpy was installed and unsuccessfully tried all the advice above. The fix for me was to remove the as np and directly refer to modules . (python 3.4.8 on Centos)
.
import numpy

For me, on windows 10, I had unknowingly installed multiple python versions (One from PyCharm IDE and another from Windows store). I uninstalled the one from windows Store and just to be thorough, uninstalled numpy pip uninstall numpy and then installed it again pip install numpy. It worked in the terminal in PyCharm and also in command prompt.
this is the problem of the numpy's version, please check out $CAFFE_ROOT/python/requirement.txt. Then exec: sudo apt-get install python-numpy>=x.x.x, this problem will be sloved.
I did everything from the answers here but nothing worked. So I deleted all the previous installations of numpy using the commands below.
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/numpy*
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/numpy*
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy*
Then just install using pip3.
sudo pip3 install numpy
Run
conda update --all
PS recall calling python using either "python2" or "python3" (not merely "python").
solution for me - I installed numpy inside a virtual environment, but then running ipython was not inside virtual env:
(venv) ➜ which python
/Users/alon/code/google_photos_project/venv/bin/python
(venv) ➜ which ipython
/usr/bin/ipython
so I had to install ipython, and run ipython from the venv like this:
python -c 'import IPython; IPython.terminal.ipapp.launch_new_instance()'
I was trying to use NumPy in Intellij but was facing the same issue so, I figured out that NumPy also comes with pandas. So, I installed pandas with IntelliJ tip and later on was able to import NumPy. Might help someone someday!
As stated in other answers, this error may refer to using the wrong python version. In my case, my environment is Windows 10 + Cygwin. In my Windows environment variables, the PATH points to C:\Python38 which is correct, but when I run my command like this:
./my_script.py
I got the ImportError: No module named numpy because the version used in this case is Cygwin's own Python version even if PATH environment variable is correct.
All I needed was to run the script like this:
py my_script.py
And this way the problem was solved.
Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Python extension for VSCode.
I tried many different solutions, but this "hard refresh" was the only one that worked for me.
I just had the same problem as well! It turns out the problem happens when you're installing Numpy to a version of python and trying to run the program using another python version. Probably the global version of Python your text editor opens by default is different from the one that you need for the version of numpy you are running.
So to start off, run:
which python
python --version
which pip
pip list
If you can find numpy on the list, its most likely the python version you are using is not compatible with the version of numpy installed. Try switching to a different version of Python in this case.
If numpy is not installed just pip install numpy or pip3 install numpy depending upon your version of python.
For whom installation target is Raspberry Pi, as here they suggest:
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev
could be working.
On MacOs, if you are getting this error in Pycharm and you installed Python3 and NumPy through Homebrew, the python interpreter path is probably not pointing to the Python interpreter that is installed by Homebrew. In Pycharm, go to Preferences>Project: [Project Name]>Python Interpreter, and enter /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 for the path to python interpreter.
This question already has answers here:
pip or pip3 to install packages for Python 3?
(10 answers)
Closed 2 years ago.
Eventually, every single time I install a new Linux distribution I do sudo apt-get install python3.
However, once installed I always get confused. python is Python 2.7 and python3 is Python 3.x. But also it appears that pip is for Python 2 and pip3 for Python 3. That said most tutorials I see on Internet always use the traditional pip install even though it is about Python 3.
How should I deal with this? Should I simply continue to put this annoying 3 every time I use Python (pip3, ipython3, python3...)? In most of my lectures I read that creating a symlink python->python3 is a bad practice. Is that correct?
Use python3 -m pip or python -m pip. That will use the correct pip for the python version you want. This method is mentioned in the pip documentation:
python -m pip executes pip using the Python interpreter you specified as python. So /usr/bin/python3.7 -m pip means you are executing pip for your interpreter located at /usr/bin/python3.7.
Symlinking python->python3 is a bad idea because some programs might rely on python being python 2. Though, I have seen some Dockerfiles symlink python->python3, like TensorFlow's CPU dockerfile (it's less of an issue in a Docker image). Coincidentally, that same Dockerfile uses the python3 -m pip install syntax that I recommend.
creating a symlink python->python3 is a bad practice. Is that correct?
Sometimes. Some OSs (looking at you, macOS) deeply rely on python pointing to a Python 2 interpreter for internal tools and tasks. Deleting the shipped Python 2 interpreter (or aliasing python to a Python 3 interpreter) will break stuff. How to uninstall Python 2.7 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4?
Whether the correct command for Python 3 is pip or pip3 or (say) gaschplutzga depends on a number of factors.
If you only have Python 3, and you have a command named pip, that's probably safe to use. Going forward, this will be the simple, obvious, safe answer in more and more places.
If you have both, and there is a command called pip3 installed on your system, probably that's the correct one to use.
More generally, you can go through your PATH and look for commands with suitable names. On Unix-like systems with a POSIX-compatible shell, try the commands command -V pip3 and command -V pip. (On Windows systems, maybe try where pip3 and where pip, or pray to whatever dark deity informed your choice of operating system.)
If you receive output like
/opt/random/nonstandard/whoa/pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
/usr/bin/pip
you can try each of these in turn with the full path and adding the --version option to have them identify themselves. When you specify the full path, you are bypassing the system's PATH mechanism entirely. For example,
/opt/random/nonstandard/whoa/pip --version
might identify itself as belonging to Python version 3.2.1. If that's the one you want, and it's at the top of your PATH, you can simply rely on the PATH to give you this version when you type just pip. If not, perhaps you can shuffle your PATH (but understand that this changes the resolution order for all commands in the directory whose position you change) or create a simple alias or wrapper which bypasses the PATH for this particular command in your personal account. On Unix-like systems with a POSIX-compatible shell, this might look like
alias pip=/opt/random/nonstandard/whoa/pip
(to persist this across sessions, you'd add this to your .profile or similar - for Bash, try .bash_profile if it exists; for Zsh, try .zshrc. The full scoop for each shell is more complicated than I can squeeze into these narrow parentheses); on Windows, you might be able to control this by setting the environment variable PY_PYTHON, but there's a huge can of worms behind that "might".
Some sites and OSes / distros have additional wrappers or conventions which introduce additional options; if you use a specific package manager, perhaps also study its documentation. (One common example is Anaconda, though I don't believe it affects the naming or location of pip specifically.)
Use virtual environments, then pip would be associated with the python used to create that virtual environment. Whether you use pip or pip3, it will be equivalent to python3 -m pip as mentioned in jakub's answer. Also, given that Python 2.7 is already EOL (which means you will most likely work with Python 3) and that pip install-ing things onto the system packages should be avoided, then a virtual environment would be helpful here.
For example, using pipenv:
$ pipenv --python=/usr/local/opt/python#3.8/bin/python3
$ pipenv shell
Launching subshell in virtual environment...
(TEMP) $ pip --version
pip 20.2.3 from /Users/me/.venvs/temp2-SbXvZiFd/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
(TEMP) $ pip3 --version
pip 20.2.3 from /Users/me/.venvs/temp2-SbXvZiFd/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
For example, using venv:
$ python3.8 -m venv .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
(.venv) $ pip --version
pip 20.2.3 from /Users/me/temp2/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
(.venv) $ pip3 --version
pip 20.2.3 from /Users/me/temp2/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
The virtual environment takes care of making sure pip or pip3 in this env refers to the pip from the correct Python version. You can then happily follow tutorials that still use pip install something (unless of course that tutorial refers to a Python 2.7 or a system-wide installation).
You can install pip through pip3 and this should resolve this issue.
$ pip --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip (python 2.7)
Notice that pip here is of Python 2.7 (in this example).
You can then force pip3 of Python 3.X to install pip under itself.
$ sudo pip3 install pip --upgrade
Installing collected packages: pip
Found existing installation: pip 8.1.1
Not uninstalling pip at /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages, outside environment /usr
Successfully installed pip-19.0.3
Once you check this again, it should reference Python 3.X so you don't have to deal with
what is what.
$ pip --version
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pip (python 3.5)
I doubt you'll want to use Python 2 after this, but if you do happen to work with Python 2 code, you can create a virtual environment to access those commands again. Otherwise, you won't have to worry about the pip or pip3 distinction after this.
Not really a duplicate of this question, but this helped me suggest this answer: Can pip (python2) and pip3 (python3) coexist?
Pip is for python version less than 3. and pip3 is used when you want to install packages for python version 3 or higher.
I'm having problems with python3. For some reason that I cannot figure out, the modules available in python3 are not the same as the ones installed via pip3.
Running pip3 list in a Terminal returns:
DEPRECATION: The default format will switch to columns in the future. You can use --format=(legacy|columns) (or define a format=(legacy|columns) in your pip.conf under the [list] section) to disable this warning.
nltk (3.2.2)
numpy (1.12.0)
pandas (0.19.2)
pip (9.0.1)
python-dateutil (2.6.0)
pytz (2016.10)
setuptools (25.2.0)
six (1.10.0)
wheel (0.29.0)
Running this script to see what modules python3 has available returns:
['cycler==0.10.0', 'matplotlib==1.5.3', 'nltk==3.2.1', 'numpy==1.11.2', 'pip==9.0.1', 'pyparsing==2.1.10', 'python-dateutil==2.6.0', 'pytz==2016.7', 'setuptools==18.2', 'six==1.10.0']
These two are not the same and I can't tell why. nltk, for example, has an older version. pandas is missing.
I've installed python via homebrew and I'm running scripts via Textmate2. However, I have the same problem when I run code in terminal, via python3. Both pip3 and python3 are installed in /usr/local/bin/:
$ which python3 pip3
/usr/local/bin/python3
/usr/local/bin/pip3
And that's also the version python3 is using:
>>> import sys, os
>>> os.path.dirname(sys.executable)
'/usr/local/bin'
If someone could help me figure out why this is the case, and how I can fix it, I would very much appreciate the help.
Look at the first line of the pip3 script.
The first line (starting with #! should point to the same executable as the symbolic link for python 3:
> head -n 1 /usr/local/bin/pip
#!/usr/local/bin/python3.6
> ls -ld /usr/local/bin/python3
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 9 Dec 25 22:37 /usr/local/bin/python3# -> python3.6
If this is not the case, deinstall pip and install it again with the correct Python version.
EDIT:
If you really want to make sure that you're using the the right Python with pip, then call it as a module like this:
python3.7 -m pip list
If you get the error No module named pip, then pip is not installed for this version of python.
I ran to this problem in Windows. first of all I uninstall the package using cmd command pip3 uninstall moduleName.
Then based on python documentation I run command python -m pip install moduleName and my problem solved!
Here is the documentation: Installing Python Modules
I'm trying to install modules on an alternate version of Python (3.3.0) I have installed on my Mac (OS X 10.7.4). The new version of Python runs OK in the IDLE and also in Terminal:
However, trying to install something relatively trivial like NumPy only installs in the old pre-installed version of Python on my Mac (2.7.1).
Executing this:
$ python3.3 easy_install numpy
Gives me this error message:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.3/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'easy_install': [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I then read that creating a virtual environment is the way to go, so I tried that:
$ mkvirtualenv python=python3.3 foo
It returned this error:
-bash: mkvirtualenv: command not found
So, I clearly don't have that installed correctly, either (virtualenv-1.8.4).
There is probably lots more homework that I need to do, but I don't really have any intention of using 2.7 ever again, just Python 3 so I don't need to go back and forth. At the same time I know that I need to keep the old version of Python on my Mac for whatever reason, so I don't intend to delete it. Any suggestions for what I'm missing would be very helpful.
Try with this:
easy_install numpy
easy_install is a shell script, not a python script.
I solved this by using Anaconda from Enthought. It had all the plugins and such that I needed. Thanks for everyone's suggestions and help! :)
You have the wrong command. Instead of:
$ python3.3 easy_install numpy
you want:
$ easy_install3 numpy
or even more specific:
$ easy_install-3.3 numpy
But you shouldn't be using easy_install in the first place:
$ pip3 install numpy
or more specific than pip3:
$ pip-3.3 install numpy
If you look deeper, you'll see that both pip3 and pip-3.3 are the same:
$ pip3 --version
pip 1.2.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pip-1.2.1-py3.3.egg (python 3.3)
$ pip-3.3 --version
pip 1.2.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.3/site-packages/pip-1.2.1-py3.3.egg (python 3.3)
and both easy_install3 and easy_install-3.3 are the same:
$ easy_install3 --version
distribute 0.6.32
$ easy_install-3.3 --version
distribute 0.6.32
I have a very similar question to this question, but I am still one step behind. I have only one version of Python 3 installed on my Windows 7 (sorry) 64-bit system.

could be working.
On MacOs, if you are getting this error in Pycharm and you installed Python3 and NumPy through Homebrew, the python interpreter path is probably not pointing to the Python interpreter that is installed by Homebrew. In Pycharm, go to Preferences>Project: [Project Name]>Python Interpreter, and enter /opt/homebrew/bin/python3 for the path to python interpreter.
