Answer 1

try below code to install pandas.

sudo pip3 install pandas

Above code work for me .

Answer 2

Try installing with this:

pip install pandas

If the install fails due to lacking privilege, do this:

sudo pip install pandas

Note: You may have to use pip3 is your default Python version is 2.X

Answer 3

You should never install Python packages using sudo as it's a potential security risk. Instead, you should install packages in a virtual environment.

Here's how to create and activate a virtual environment using Python's built-in venv module.

Creating the Environment

On Linux/Mac OS

$ python3 -m venv [name of environment]

On Windows

PS> python -m venv [name of environment]

Activating the Environment

On Linux/Mac OS

$ source [name of environment]/bin/activate

On Windows

PS> [name of environment]\Scripts\activate

Once you have your virtual environment active you can install pandas using pip install pandas and import it as usual in your program.

For more information on working with virtual environments read this: How Can You Work With a Python Virtual Environment?
