No module named numpy with pypy

Question

This question is related to Using Numpy with pypy

I tried to use

pip install git+https://bitbucket.org/pypy/numpy.git

The system (Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)) said

git: 'submodule' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. Command "git submodule update --init --recursive -q" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-LD8rrP-build

Still it seems that numpy is not compatible with pypy.

Is there any solution for this problem? P.S. I managed to setup it on ubuntu, but not fedora..

Additional information:

Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)

pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)

git version 2.7.4

Solution

You're referring to a 6-years-old post. The current, preferred way to install numpy on PyPy is simply pip install numpy. (This assumes pip refers to the PyPy version, like it does in a virtualenv made with PyPy. The link below describes an alternate way if you don't have virtualenv.)

I have tried this command. However, I received the following message >Requirement already satisfied: numpy in /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages

That means you were using CPython's pip. You need to use pypy's pip. The easiest way to do that is to create a virtualenv for pypy and activate it. Then, running pip install numpy should just work.

Updated the answer as per Ronan's suggestion. But also, the paragraph at the link I posted gives more details that you should read and follow.
