enter image description hereI am trying to install pandas and I keep getting an error 

Microsoft visual c++ 10.0 is required?

Is it really necessary to have it ? and how can I have it?

when I try to upgrade pip from 9 to 18, it says I should do it through python, how is that? Thanks in advance

You should first try to upgrade your pip from version 9 to version 18.

If you have virtual environment. Then first activate your virtualenv or else if you have global python installed. They simply type the following command

pip install --upgrade pip

This will show the following output

(p_env) ➜  python_playground git:(master) ✗ pip install --upgrade pip

Once your pip is upgraded. Then type the following command to install pandas

pip install pandas

  • it says python is not recognized as an internal or external command – Rory Aug 26 '18 at 09:26
  • could you add python to the environment by following this https://www.pythoncentral.io/add-python-to-path-python-is-not-recognized-as-an-internal-or-external-command/? – Arghya Saha Aug 26 '18 at 09:28
  • I did that, and I used the command you provided and it said that : I must give at least one requirement to install – Rory Aug 26 '18 at 09:45
