I've used pandas before, but not for a while. I had it for Python 2 and recently upgraded to Python 3, so I'm not sure if that is the underlying issue.

When I do pip install pandas, I get this error message: 

Installing collected packages: numpy, pandas
  Found existing installation: numpy 1.8.0rc1
    DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (numpy) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.
    Uninstalling numpy-1.8.0rc1:

    Are you trying to install to your Python 3 interpreter? Have you considered using something like Anaconda? – juanpa.arrivillaga Feb 07 '18 at 17:24
  • what python version are you trying to install this for? and do you already have these libraries installed on another verison? – MattR Feb 07 '18 at 17:24
  • Have you tried using `sudo pip install pandas`? – Alan Kavanagh Feb 07 '18 at 17:30

    Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can correct me: if Python 2.7 is the default system Python, `pip install` tries to install to Python2, correct? As such, would running `pip3 install` install to Python 3? I think I originally came across that tidbit here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40036679/6672746 – Evan Feb 07 '18 at 18:28
  • The pip3 install worked! – Cynthia Fernandez Feb 08 '18 at 20:09

Use the sudo command to install the module:

[usr@osx ~] sudo pip install pandas

EDIT:

Based on the information in your question

[usr@osx ~] sudo pip install pandas

will install pandas to your Python 2.7 interpreter, if you want it installed for your Python 3 interpreter then you will need to run the following:

[usr@osx ~] sudo python3 -m pip install pandas
