Cannot install pandas in Linux

Question

I am trying to run my python code in my University server ( its OS is Linux)

When I try to run my code I get this error

[am333@uni-login-06 ~]$ python3 15Gadi01.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "15Gadi01.py", line 1, in <module>
    import pandas as pd
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pandas'

I realised that Pandas is not installed

so I tried to install Pandas

[am333@uni-login-06 ~]$ pip3 install pandas

I tried to google it

and google suggested pip install wheel first

I wonder is thre is a solution to this problem?

You are trying to install the package into the python directory itself. Unfortunately that path is in a read only position. I would suggest you to create a virtuall env in a non read onyl path and install what packages you want there. — leoOrion

Yes, it's a good idea to do all your python stuff in virtual environments. There are several venv wrappers, but you can check the py docs to get started: pip and virtual environments — tdy

See pip install failing with: OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied on directory. The error message is different, but the solution to most directory permission problems is the same: Use a virtual environment. — Gino Mempin

I think you might wish to use the --user flag

pip3 install --user pandas

This will install pandas in your user account, instead of global python installation (which requires sudo privileges).

I found the answer

The problem is that I have to install cython and numpy first

pip3 install -v --no-binary :all: --user cython
pip3 install -v --no-binary :all: --user numpy
pip3 install -v --no-binary :all: --user pandas

The fix is actually adding --user... Pandas installs numpy on its own, and maybe also cython
