How to Fix: No module named NumPy

In this article, we will discuss how to fix the No module named numpy using Python.

Numpy is a module used for array processing. The error “No module named numpy ” will occur when there is no NumPy library in your environment i.e. the NumPy module is either not installed or some part of the installation is incomplete due to some interruption. We will discuss how to overcome this error.

In Python, we will use pip function to install any module

Syntax:

pip install module_name

Example: How to install NumPy

pip install numpy

Output:

We can verify by again typing same command then output will be:

Output:

Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages (1.1.5)

To get the numpy description like the current version in our environment we can use show command  

Example: To get NumPy description 

pip show numpy

Output:

Name: numpy

Version: 1.19.5

Summary: NumPy is the fundamental package for array computing with Python.

The installation remains same for all other operating systems and software just the platform changes. If our installation is successful any NumPy code will work fine 

Example: Program to create a NumPy array and display

Output:

array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
