Learn how to install numpy on raspberry pi with this easy step-by-step guide. It only takes a few minutes and you’ll be ready to start using the powerful library for scientific computing on your raspberry pi.

To install NumPy on Raspberry Pi, follow these steps:

  1. Update Your System Before installing any new packages, it is important to ensure that your system is up-to-date. Open a terminal window and run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade

This will download and install the latest updates for your Raspberry Pi’s operating system.

  1. Install Python If you haven’t already, install Python on your Raspberry Pi by running:
sudo apt install python3

NumPy requires Python to work, so this is a necessary step.

  1. Install pip pip is the package manager for Python and makes it easy to install packages like NumPy. To install pip, run:
sudo apt install python3-pip
  1. Install NumPy Now that you have pip installed, installing NumPy is simple. Run the following command in your terminal:
pip3 install numpy

This will download and install NumPy and all its dependencies.

  1. Verify the Installation To verify that NumPy has been successfully installed, open a Python interpreter by running python3 in your terminal. Then, import the library to ensure it is working correctly:
import numpy as np
print(np.__version__)

This will print the version number of NumPy if everything is installed properly.

That’s it! You have now successfully installed NumPy on your Raspberry Pi in just a few minutes. Now you can start using this powerful library for scientific computing and data analysis on your Raspberry Pi.
