pip unable to install package even though it is present on pypi server


I am trying to install NumPy package by doing

pip install numpy==1.19.2

after I installed and activated a virtual environment

but I am getting an error

ERROR: No matching distribution found for numpy==1.19.2

But it is definitely present.

Solution

  • The problem was in the version of python using which the virtual environment was created. I used the python3.5 version to create it but the minimum required python version for the numpy==1.19.2 is python3.6. It is also given in the bottom left-hand side section in the PyPI package details page.
