Installing python packages

[William Mitchell]

Dear all,

I'm having trouble installing python packages in stata 16 (numpy and pandas) using my mac; per this blog thread https://blog.stata.com/2020/09/01/st...thon-packages/

Typing

shell

into stata, X Quartz opens (rather than terminal; I assume this is okay).

Typing pip3 -V confirms I have pip and python 3.8 installed

pip3 -V
pip 19.2.3 from /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Library/Frameworks/Python3.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)

However, when I try to install numpy, I am met with the following error message:

pip3 install numpy
Collecting numpy

Installing collected packages: numpy
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/3.8'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

Of note;

pip install numpy
bash: pip: command not found

I have searched previous stata forum chats and not been able to find any answers; I would really appreciate any help anyone can offer.

Thanks for your consideration. William

The error message suggests to add --user to your command, have you tried that.

 
 pip3 install numpy --user

Thanks so much, that worked perfectly. I really appreciate it.
