Unable to install numpy and pandas in Ubuntu

Question

I already tried

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy
sudo apt-get install libatlas-dev libatlas3gf-base

It was showing Unable to locate package libatlas3gf-base So I tried

pip install --user --install-option="--prefix=" -U scikit-learn

But it failed. Failure is in the image as shown in this drive link "https://drive.google.com/open?id=1_YZlQYpP5aGGbbEDKzIzsYeiEVIgEmGe".

Look at using Anaconda or Miniconda.

Try installing with pip

sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip install pandas or sudo pip3 install pandas
sudo pip install numpy or sudo pip3 install numpy

Try also using a virtual enviroment just in case

apt-get install python-virtualenv
virtualenv testVirtualEnv
cd testVirtualEnv
source bin/activate
Now install dependencies

Virtual enviroments are also a good way of making projects in a more managable way

I used "sudo apt-get install python3-numpy" just now and it worked. Now I can use numpy and pandas. Thank you. could you please also explain why "Unable to locate package libatlas3gf-base" is showing up?

If that is showing up when running the program, probably the instalation did not went well. Try isolating with a virtualenv, ill update the answer
