pandas is a Python library used for data analysis. It has some similarities with the R programming language, which are not coincidental. R is a specialized programming language popular with data scientists. For instance, R inspired the core DataFrame
object in pandas.
On PyPi, the project is called pandas
. So, you can run either of the following commands:
$ sudo easy_install -U pandas $ pip install pandas
If you are using a Linux package manager, you will need to install the python-pandas
project. On Ubuntu, do the following:
$ sudo apt-get install python-pandas
You can also install from source (this requires Git unless you download a source archive):
$ git clone git://github.com/pydata/pandas.git $ cd pandas $ python setup.py install
