apt-get install python3-numpy doesn't install numpy on python3, but installed on python2.7

I'm trying to install numpy for python3, and I used sudo apt-get install python3-numpy to install numpy as I use Jetson tx2.

Although the installation is successful, but numpy is installed on python2.7 not python3. How can I solve it?

Solution

  • Actually when you flash your Jetson TX2 with Jetpack (version), numpy package is present for Python2 by default and not for Python3.
    In order to install numpy for Python3 Please follow the steps given below:-
    1. Check if you have pip3 installed for Python3. If not install pip3.
    sudo apt install python3-pip
    2. Then using pip3 install numpy
    pip3 install numpy

    After installation check the location: /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages you will find numpy installed for Python3
    Hope this helps!
