Installing packages in Python

One of the ways you can install packages is by using Anaconda’s command prompt. Simply open the Anaconda Prompt from the start menu and type the following command:

pip install pandas

Here’s the output:

You can repeat the same process for the numpy package. To do so, run the following code in your command prompt:

 pip install numpy

Here’s the output:

Now, try running the following lines of code:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

If the preceding commands were successful, then these two lines of code will run without any errors and you can now use the pandas and numpy packages. Note that you may run into the following error:

import pandas as pd
