I'm installing NumPy on a Raspberry Pi 3 using pip. When I type in pip install numpy into the SSH bash terminal, pip starts collecting and downloading NumPy. But when it runs the setup.py file, it just freezes and terminates the SSH connection. Everytime I try to install NumPy, this happens. I'm using Python 2. What should I do?

run sudo apt install python-numpy (or preferably sudo apt install python3-numpy because python2 is terminally ill).
You can not just install anything without a root permission . You must execute this command under root permission. Or you can use use
sudo pip install numpy
or
sudo apt install python-numpy

This is untrue. You CAN install Python packages without sudo - although they are only available to the userMilliways– Milliways2019-10-27 21:38:34 +00:00Commented Oct 27, 2019 at 21:38

If you are talking about installing by compiling and using standalone python binary , yes that can work too. But I have never done thatSohan Arafat– Sohan Arafat2019-10-28 04:52:20 +00:00Commented Oct 28, 2019 at 4:52
