Not all systems have a 'pip' executable. If a 'pip' exectuable does exist, it might not be the same version as your defualt python executable. It's usually a better idea to do it this way: $ python -m pip install --user numpy That said, if you're on Linux system, you're almostg always better off using your distro's package manger to install numpy. -- Grant -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
