Verify the Setup

We can also verify our setup by using the following steps:

Step 1: Write Python in the Terminal

In this step, we will write Python in our terminal as shown below in the figure.

Step 2: Check Version

In order to check if the numpy package is property is installed, you can check the version of numpy. Write the following command in the editor and run the code.

If everything is properly set you’ll see the version of numpy as output on your screen.

Output

Numpy is a Python library used for scientific calculations. You can work on linear algebra, Fourier transforms, statistical operations, random simulation, and matrices using this library. Apart from that, this library has many more functions to support fast and lengthy calculations. You can use this library for free and also contribute as it is an open-source project.

Anaconda provides Python distribution that also includes Python programming language along with a large number of data science and scientific computing packages. It is very beneficial for data scientists and researchers because it comes with package management tools like Conda that make it easier to install, update, and manage various Python packages. Anaconda Distribution allows us to create isolated Python environments that is helpful to manage dependencies between projects. In this article, we will discuss different ways to set up NumPy in Anaconda.
