Day 3: Using Pip and Numpy

Q:Why is python so popular? 

Ans: Good community and wonderful packages for literally everything.

Q: What is pip?

Ans: To install and manage those wonderful packages in Python we use a system call pip.

If you have Python 2 >=2.7.9 or Python 3 >=3.4 installed from python.org, you will already have pip and setuptools, but will need to upgrade to the latest version:

On Linux or macOS:

pip install -U pip setuptools

On Windows:

python -m pip install -U pip setuptools

Numpy 

The first package that we are going to install is Numpy. Consider it as a core requirement to learn data science.

Just write the in your terminal/shell

pip install numpy

 And thats it. You have successfully installed numpy package.

One of the best resource to get started with numpy is this Video by datacamp.
