python:installing Numpy

Question

I tried the command 'python -m pip install numpy' several times to install numpy on the command prompt but nothing happens. Can someeone tell what the problem is?

haven't tried it for any other module, well I am using the command prompt for the first time, this worked on a video on youtube but not working with me — Adnan Zahid, Jun 07 '20 at 13:51

That means you do not have pip install. Try a fresh installation of Python from the scratch. Download the .exe installer from their official website, and do 'check mark' the 'add environment variable' at the beginning. — Chetan Hireholi, Jun 07 '20 at 13:55
something like this: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.3/python-3.8.3-amd64.exe — Chetan Hireholi, Jun 07 '20 at 13:56
Any progress after reinstalling Python. Close the CMD and open it once again. — Chetan Hireholi, Jun 07 '20 at 14:18

Try pip install numpy or pip3 install numpy

Or

Try a fresh installation of Python from the scratch. Download the .exe installer from their official website, and do 'check mark' the 'add environment variable' at the beginning.

Did you use pip or pip3? – yudhiesh Jun 07 '20 at 13:56
You need to add the path of your pip installation to your PATH system variable. Follow this [link](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23708898/pip-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command) – yudhiesh Jun 07 '20 at 13:58

On your CMD type python. It will enter python and you'll see this sign (>>>), type 'import numpy'. If it didnt install it you'll get:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

Then you'll need to type 'pip install numpy'.

If it did install it you'll see on a new line (>>>).

Another way to check if you installed it is by typing 'pip list' and see if it is there.
