Numpy module not found in EC2 instance

Question

When I try to execute numpy script on AWS EC2, I am getting the following error.

[ec2-user@ip-XXX-XX-XX-XX ~]$ python samplenumpy.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "samplenumpy.py", line 2, in <module>
    import numpy as np
ImportError: No module named numpy

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

The most probable reason can be like this:

Your numpy-install is for python 2.6 (so old). I really hope, you are using python 2.7, which would mean there might be still no numpy available for this version! This was the same thing that happened to me. So try updating/ installing the newer verion.
