Using NumPy

Install NumPy

1. Install the prerequisites needed to build the package's binary code:

   sudo apk add python3-wheel python3-dev
   pip3 install Cython --break-system-packages

2. Build NumPy using the following command. You must build the NumPy code using the Clang toolchain:

   CC=clang CXX=clang++ pip3 install numpy --break-system-packages

   This step takes a few minutes to run. Once complete, NumPy is ready to use.

Run the sample script

The steps below check that NumPy works with code adapted from early examples in this tutorial: https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/absolute_beginners.html

1. In Geany, open /home/qnxuser/projects/python_numpy/hello_numpy.py.

2. Select Build > Execute. This step outputs different operations as they're performed, based on the initial sample code in the tutorial.:
