How to Install Scipy
Method 1 of 2:
Using the Python Package Index
- Open the SciPy website in your internet browser. Type or paste https://www.scipy.org/ into the address bar, and press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return on your keyboard.
- Click the Install button on the home page. This button looks like a downward green arrow on the blue-and-white SciPy icon. You can find it near the upper-left corner of the page.
- This will open the SciPy installation details on a new page.
- Make sure Python is installed on your computer. SciPy is an open-source Python library, and requires a basic Python distribution installed on your system.
- If you don't have Python installed, you can select one of the recommended distributions under the "Scientific Python Distributions" heading, and install it to your computer.
- If you're not sure how to install Python, make sure to check out this article for detailed instructions on installing the core packages.
- Open your computer's command prompt terminal. You can open the Command Prompt on Windows, Terminal on Mac, or your distribution's Terminal on Linux.
- Type and run python -m pip install -U pip. This command will make sure the latest pip files are installed on your system to handle package managing tasks.
- Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return to run the command.
- Type and run pip install scipy in the command prompt. This will use the Python Package index, and install the core SciPy packages on your computer.
- You can also install other core packages like Numpy and Matplotlib by using the pip install numpy and pip install matplotlib commands.
Method 2 of 2:
Using Linux Repositories
- Open the SciPy website in your internet browser. Type or paste https://www.scipy.org/ into the address bar, and press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return on your keyboard.
- Using Linux repositories will perform a system-wide installation, but these files may have older package versions than the Python Package index used with the pip tool.
- Click Install on the home page. This button looks like a downward green arrow on the blue-and-white SciPy icon. It's near the upper-left corner of the page.
- Copy the system-wide command for your Linux distribution. You can find separate commands for Ubuntu (and Debian-based) systems and Fedora under the "Install system-wide via a Linux package manager" heading.
- For example, you can use the sudo apt-get install python-scipy command on Ubuntu-Debian, and sudo dnf install scipy on Fedora.
- You can include multiple packages like Numpy, Matplotlib, and Pandas in your installation.
- System-wide installation is also available if you're using a Mac with a third-party package manager. You can find Macport and Homebrew commands on the Install page if you're using either of these package managers.
- Open a Terminal window on your computer. Depending on your system and desktop environment, you can find it on the Dash menu on the top-left (Ubuntu-Debian), or under Accessories (Fedora with Gnome).
- Alternatively, press Ctrl+Alt+T (Ubuntu-Debian) or Ctrl+Alt+F1 (Fedora) to open a Terminal window.
- Paste and run the copied command in your Terminal window. This will install SciPy via your system's native (or third-party) package manager.
