This will open the SciPy installation details on a new page.

If you don’t have Python installed, you can select one of the recommended distributions under the “Scientific Python Distributions” heading, and install it to your computer. If you’re not sure how to install Python, make sure to check out this article for detailed instructions on installing the core packages.

Press ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return to run the command.

You can also install other core packages like Numpy and Matplotlib by using the pip install numpy and pip install matplotlib commands.

Using Linux repositories will perform a system-wide installation, but these files may have older package versions than the Python Package index used with the pip tool.

For example, you can use the sudo apt-get install python-scipy command on Ubuntu-Debian, and sudo dnf install scipy on Fedora. You can include multiple packages like Numpy, Matplotlib, and Pandas in your installation. System-wide installation is also available if you’re using a Mac with a third-party package manager. You can find Macport and Homebrew commands on the Install page if you’re using either of these package managers.

Alternatively, press Ctrl+Alt+T (Ubuntu-Debian) or Ctrl+Alt+F1 (Fedora) to open a Terminal window.
