Python Programming – NumPy Installation

Python Programming – NumPy Installation

Numpy installation

This section discusses the simple installation approaches of NumPy in different operating system.

Windows

By default, NumPy is not shipped with official Python installer. But one can download (from website link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/) the executable file of NumPy (recent version 1.8.1) followed by installing it. Before installing NumPy, please make sure that Python is already installed. NumPy is already included in Python(x,y) package, so one does not have to install NumPy separately, if the programmer is using Python(x,y).

Linux

One can install NumPy in Ubuntu (Linux) operating system by executing the following commands in the terminal (as shown in figure 6-1).

sudo apt-get install python-numpy

Data types

Some of the data types supported by NumPy are given in table 6-1.
