This error typically occurs when the required dependencies for numpy are not installed or not properly configured.
To resolve this issue, you can try the following steps:
-
Make sure you have the necessary build tools and dependencies installed on your system. For example, on Ubuntu, you can run the following command to install them:
sudo apt-get install build-essential -
Upgrade your pip version to the latest one:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip -
Install the required dependencies for numpy:
pip install cython -
Try installing numpy again:
pip install numpy
If the issue still persists, you can also try installing numpy from a pre-compiled binary wheel, which does not require building from source. You can download the suitable wheel file for your system from the official numpy website (https://pypi.org/project/numpy/#files), and then install it using pip:
pip install /path/to/numpy-wheel-file.whl
If none of the above solutions work, there might be a deeper issue with your system configuration. In that case, you might need to seek further assistance or consider using alternative methods to install numpy, such as using Anaconda distribution or a virtual environment.
