Most Linux distributions have NumPy packages. We will go through the necessary steps for some of the popular Linux distros:
- Run the following instructions from the command line for installing NumPy and Red Hat:
yum install python-numpy - To install NumPy on Mandriva, run the following command-line instruction:
urpmi python-numpy - To install NumPy on Gentoo run the following command-line instruction:
sudo emerge numpy - To install NumPy on Debian or Ubuntu, we need to type the following :
sudo apt-get install python-numpy
