How to Fix ImportError: No module named numpy

If you encounter ImportError: No module named numpy, this error indicates that your Python environment cannot locate the NumPy module. The likely reason for this issue could be that NumPy is not installed in your Python environment or you may be using a different environment where NumPy is not available.

Check Python and Pip Installation

To fix ImportError: No module named numpy, start by verifying your Python and pip installations. Open your command prompt or terminal and run these commands:

python --version

pip --version

If both Python and pip are correctly installed, you'll see their relevant versions. Make sure Python is added to your PATH during the installation; if not, reinstall Python.

Installing NumPy with Pip

The next step involving ImportError: No module named numpy, entails checking if NumPy is installed. Simply execute the command:

pip list

If you don't see NumPy in the listed packages, you need to install it.

Use the following installation command:

pip install numpy

After running the above command, NumPy should install without any issues. In case you are using Windows and encounter permissions errors, try using:

pip install --user numpy

Verifying Installation

Verify the installation by trying to run a simple script from the Python interpreter:

python -c "import numpy"

If you do not see any error, NumPy was installed successfully!

Further troubleshooting might be needed if the issue persists. Consider checking if a virtual environment is being taken into account. If the problem endures or specifically concerning dependencies please consider the relevant project documentation: food for knowledge at NumPy.
