How To Install NumPy on Rocky Linux 9

In this tutorial, we will show you how to install NumPy on Rocky Linux 9. For those of you who didn’t know, NumPy is a popular Python library for scientific computing that adds support for large, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices. It is an essential tool for data analysis, scientific research, and machine learning applications. NumPy is available on various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

This article assumes you have at least basic knowledge of Linux, know how to use the shell, and most importantly, you host your site on your own VPS. The installation is quite simple and assumes you are running in the root account, if not you may need to add ‘sudo‘ to the commands to get root privileges. I will show you the step-by-step installation of NumPy on Rocky Linux. 9.
