Unable to install Numpy on AWS EC2 Python 3.6

Question

I have an Amazon EC2 instance running Amazon Linux and a virtual environment with python 3.6.

I can't seem to install Numpy :

(testenv) [ec2-user@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx venv]$ pip3 install numpy
Collecting numpy
  Using cached numpy-1.13.3-cp36-cp36m-manylinux1_x86_64.whl
Installing collected packages: numpy
Successfully installed numpy-1.13.3

(testenv) [ec2-user@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx venv]$ python
Python 3.6.2 (default, Nov  2 2017, 19:34:31) 
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-11)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import numpy
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'

I also did a sudo python36 -m pip install numpy it did not work.

How about sudo python -m pip install numpy? What you posted should make your python36 executable work, but it's not clear to me that python refers to the same one. — Eric

I get Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /usr/local/lib64/python2.7/site-packages It's installed for previous version of Python but not for 3.6 which is the one I use on this virtual environment... — Fredovsky

I got same problem and found a solution that worked for me on that website : https://samsblogofthings.wordpress.com/2016/07/17/installing-numpy-on-your-amazon-ec2-instance-for-a-particular-python-version/

Basically do :

alias sudo='sudo env PATH=$PATH'

and then : sudo pip3 install numpy

This pip3 in place of the pip I was using (to install scipy-- very analogous to numpy) did the wonder for me ! Thanks.

I'm running Amazon Linux, and doing sudo yum install python3-numpy results in No package python3-numpy available.

Try sudo yum install numpy or sudo yum install python-numpy

Doing sudo yum install numpy installed numpy for Python 2.7. But in my virtual environment with Python 3.6 it still not shows.

sudo yum install python3-numpy

I tried as well, got a No package python3-numpy available.

source your virtual environment and try to install numpy without sudo via pip from that env. It should work.

That's what I did, you can see on my post the (testenv) meaning I had sourced it already.
