How to Install Python packages on Cloud 9 (NumPy, Pandas)

How to install Jupyter, NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib on Cloud 9 or Docker Container

Instructions below are for Python v2.7 Minconda 2. For Python 3.x just replace Miniconda2 with Miniconda3 anywhere you see it below.

Check python version on c9 terminal.

python -V

Install Miniconda

1. http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html , right clik on the 64-bit Linux and copy the file address for the proper version you need.
2. Prepare to install Miniconda. Download Miniconda 64Bits for Linux using wget.

wget https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

If wget command was not recognized you may need to install it using apt-get update && apt-get install wget

3.Changing file permission for execution

chmod a+x Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

4.Installing Miniconda

./Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

If you ran into an error like bunzip2: not found, the easiest way is to manually install it via apt-get install bzip2.

If during the install you got interrupted, then when you rerun the just -u for update as in ./Miniconda2-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -u. You will be prompted to, type yes and hit enter.

5. Before installing packages. Close the current bash terminal and open a new terminal (either on c9 or docker container).

Install packages

conda install -y numpy

You may be promopted

The following NEW packages will be INSTALLED:

    pandas:          0.18.1-np111py27_0
    python-dateutil: 2.5.3-py27_0      
    pytz:            2016.4-py27_0     
    six:             1.10.0-py27_0     

Install other packages similarly.

conda install -y pandas matplotlib 

In the terminal type Python you should see something like this:

Python 2.7.11 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Dec  6 2015, 18:08:32) 
[GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
Anaconda is brought to you by Continuum Analytics.
Please check out: http://continuum.io/thanks and https://anaconda.org

To validate packages installed properly try:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

you should not see an error like this

ImportError: No module named matplotlib

if you do, then you need to make sure you install the package correclty using conda.

Note: If you are interested in installing OpenCV, Conda makes it very easy to install

conda install opencv

Install Jupyter

conda install jupyter

To run Jupyter notebook in c9 run:

jupyter notebook --ip=0.0.0.0 --port=8080 --no-browser

Then open your browser using port 8080 for example.
