NumPy is the fundamental package for machine learning with Python. It offers powerful tools including the following:
- The N-dimensional array ndarray class and several subclasses representing matrices and arrays
- Various sophisticated array functions
- Useful linear algebra capabilities
Installation instructions for NumPy are at http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/user/install.html. Alternatively, an easier method is installing it with pip in the command line as follows:
pip install numpy
To install conda for Anaconda users, run the following command line:
conda install numpy
A quick way to verify your installation is to import it in the shell as follows:
>>> import numpy
It's installed nicely if there's no error message.
