I have both python3.5 and python3.6 in my computer. When I try to import python in numpy3.6, I get an error. When I try to install numpy through sudo pip3 install numpy, I get the message Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /home/user/.local/lib/python3.5/site-packages. How do I install numpy for python 3.6?

That's the exception I get when importing numpy:

Python 3.6.3 (default, Oct  6 2017, 08:44:35)  [GCC 6.3.0 20170406] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy

    import apt   File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>
    import apt_pkg ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'

Original exception was: Traceback (most recent call last):   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

make sure pip is installed with:

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

and:

sudo python3.6 get-pip.py

and then you can install numpy with:

sudo python3.6 -m pip install numpy

  • I have followed your answer, but when writing "python3.6 -m pip install numpy" I get the output: Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (1.12.1). I added to the question the full exception I get when importing numpy in python3.6. May 15, 2018 at 6:15

    solved after adding --upgrade to that command. Thanks! May 15, 2018 at 6:33
