Missing dependencies (numpy) when importing pandas

Question

I'm following a Python tutorial where pandas is used and I'm running into a dependency issue that I can't figure out.

To install pandas, I ran:

pip install pandas

But when I open a python session and try to import pandas I get an error message saying "Missing required dependencies ('numpy')" despite the fact that I see it getting installed when I run the pip command to install pandas.

Help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Edit: Full error message posted below:

• ΦXocę 웃 Пepeúpa ツ: do you have more than 1 python version installed???
• Luke Smith: Thanks for the suggestion - I think it may have been possibly related to having multiple versions. I believe many months ago I may have installed the 64 bit version of python then proceeded to install a 32 bit version as well. Either way, I uninstalled Python, then re-installed and tried the same process I had been using and it worked properly. Thanks again.

Answer 1

try to install Anaconda 3 (it works on Windows and Linux), it contains all the useful libraries like panda, numpy... so you don't have to download or rebuild yourself

• Luke Smith: Although I fixed my issue as stated in the comment above, I'll be sure to check out Anaconda. That's for the suggestion.
