How To Install python3-sparse on Kali Linux

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-sparse on Kali Linux. python3-sparse is multidimensional sparse arrays for Python

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-sparse on Kali Linux.

What is python3-sparse

python3-sparse is:

This package implements sparse multidimensional arrays on top of NumPy and scipy.sparse. It generalizes the scipy.sparse.coo_matrix layout but extends beyond just rows and columns to an arbitrary number of dimensions. The original motivation is for machine learning algorithms, but it is intended for somewhat general use.

It supports:

  • NumPy ufuncs (where zeros are preserved)
  • Arithmetic with scalars (where zeros are preserved)
  • Reductions (sum, max)
  • Reshape
  • Transpose
  • Tensordot
  • Slicing with integers, lists, and slices (with no step value)
  • Concatenation and stacking
  • Addition with other sparse arrays of the same shape

This package provides the modules for Python 3.

There are three methods to install python3-sparse on Kali Linux. We can use apt-get, apt and aptitude. In the following sections we will describe each method. You can choose one of them.

Install python3-sparse Using apt-get

Update apt database with apt-get using the following command.

sudo apt-get update

After updating apt database, We can install python3-sparse using apt-get by running the following command:

sudo apt-get -y install python3-sparse

Install python3-sparse Using apt

Update apt database with apt using the following command.

sudo apt update

After updating apt database, We can install python3-sparse using apt by running the following command:

sudo apt -y install python3-sparse

Install python3-sparse Using aptitude

If you want to follow this method, you might need to install aptitude on Kali Linux first since aptitude is usually not installed by default on Kali Linux. Update apt database with aptitude using the following command.

sudo aptitude update

After updating apt database, We can install python3-sparse using aptitude by running the following command:

sudo aptitude -y install python3-sparse

How To Uninstall python3-sparse on Kali Linux

To uninstall only the python3-sparse package we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get remove python3-sparse

Uninstall python3-sparse And Its Dependencies

To uninstall python3-sparse and its dependencies that are no longer needed by Kali Linux, we can use the command below:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove python3-sparse

Remove python3-sparse Configurations and Data

To remove python3-sparse configuration and data from Kali Linux we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y purge python3-sparse

Remove python3-sparse configuration, data, and all of its dependencies

We can use the following command to remove python3-sparse configurations, data and all of its dependencies, we can use the following command:

sudo apt-get -y autoremove --purge python3-sparse

Dependencies

python3-sparse have the following dependencies:
