To install numpy, scipy, pandas on linux using pip (tested on Ubuntu 20.04):
First download the latest stable pypy3 from https://www.pypy.org/download.html.
Then:
pypy3 -m venv pypy-env
source pypy-env/bin/activate
pip install numpy
pip install scipy
pip install pandas
You may need to install a fortran compiler. On ubuntu sudo apt install gfortran
will work.
scipy takes just over 7 minutes to compile and install on my PC. pandas took almost 15 minutes to compile and install.
Thanks. I am not sure it goes on this page, maybe we should have another one for "Installing other packages", or just reference the cpython guide with a remark "it works just like cpython"?
I think this is cleaner now, @lesshaste thanks for getting this going. If there are more fixes, let's do them in subsequent PRs
.. and mention conda
