SciPy Environment Setup

Standard Python distributions do not bundle any SciPy modules. A lightweight alternative is to install SciPy using a popular Python package installer.

pip install pandas

If you have the Anaconda Python package installed, Pandas will be installed by default. Below are the packages and installation links for different operating systems.

Windows

Anaconda (from https://www.continuum.io) is a free Python distribution for the SciPy stack. It is also available for Linux and Mac.

Canopy (https://www.enthought.com/products/canopy/ ) is free and commercially available with the full SciPy stack for Windows, Linux, and Mac.

Python (x,y) – This is a free Python distribution with the SciPy stack and the Spyder IDE for Windows. (Download from https://python-xy.github.io/)

Linux

The package manager of each Linux distribution is used to install one or more packages in the SciPy stack.
