I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 which includes Python 2.7.11 and 3.5.1.

I also installed Python 3.4.4 successfully. But when I try to install numpy with:

sudo apt-get install python-numpy 
sudo apt-get install python3-numpy

it installs for Python 2.7.11 and 3.5.1 but I need it for Python 3.4.4. How do I install it?

From python docs: when working with multiple versions of Python installed in parallel, below commands can be used along with pip to install a Python Package for a particular version of Python:

python2   -m pip install SomePackage  # default Python 2
python2.7 -m pip install SomePackage  # specifically Python 2.7
python3   -m pip install SomePackage  # default Python 3
python3.4 -m pip install SomePackage  # specifically Python 3.4
python3.5 -m pip install SomePackage  # specifically Python 3.5

Hence, to install numpy package for Python3.4, you can use this command:

~/$ python3.4 -m pip install numpy
