C:\Users\Your Name>pip install numpy

If this command fails, then use a python distribution that already has NumPy installed like, Anaconda, Spyder etc.


Import NumPy

Once NumPy is installed, import it in your applications by adding the import keyword:

import numpy

Now NumPy is imported and ready to use.

Example

import numpy

arr = numpy.array([1, 2, 3, 4, 5])

print(arr)
