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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Install pip
pip
is the package manager for Python and makes it easy to install packages like NumPy. To installpip
, run:
sudo apt install python3-pip
- 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.
- 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.
