How To Install scipy on CentOS 7
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install scipy on CentOS 7.
What is scipy
Scipy is open-source software for mathematics, science, and engineering. The core library is NumPy which provides convenient and fast N-dimensional array manipulation. The SciPy library is built to work with NumPy arrays, and provides many user-friendly and efficient numerical routines such as routines for numerical integration and optimization. Together, they run on all popular operating systems, are quick to install, and are free of charge. NumPy and SciPy are easy to use, but powerful enough to be depended upon by some of the world’s leading scientists and engineers.
We can use yum or dnf to install scipy on CentOS 7. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install scipy.
