Can't import numpy even after I installed it?

Question

I have to import numpy for a project in python, and I was told to simply install it in the CMD prompt, (pip install numpy). It says it is installed, but when I try to import it in python, it says: no module named 'numpy'. What did I do wrong or how do I fix this?

when you use pip install package, you can "use" the package executing python your_script.py and the same is for pip3 and python3 — Frederick, Feb 06 '21 at 13:50

If you are using python version that is lower than 3 the method you tried should work so I am assuming you have a python version of 3.x.

For that you have to use

pip3 install numpy

As pip is for version lower than python 3 but pip3 is the one for python3.

EDIT

Since you said that it works in command prompt, so I believe that the pycharm is not using python3...?

If that’s the case try visiting here and set the appropriate version.

Hope it helps

Hi if you want to ensure you are using the python and pip in the same bin and the installation of numpy is also in the same bin, you can try:

$ python -m pip install numpy
