How to Install Numpy

As we go down the last stretch of libraries to install for Ubertooth, we have NumPy. For once this is a library that I have a little experience from over the years. So lets dig into it and install NumPy.

First, lets learn a little about NumPy. This is an extremely common library for the scientific sorts that use Python. It is a library of scientifically oriented math functions. I know data scientist that NumPy is to them as the .NET framework is to me. When I dabbed with Deep Learning back in April, every exercise used NumPy.

Before we begin, I would be surprised at this point if most installs of Python don’t already have this installed. First from your Kali desktop, you need to open the terminal.

In the terminal screen you will type, apt-get install python-numpy and press enter.

In my instance when I ran it, it was already installed. That is not a big deal, we want to check that the Ubertooth prerequisites are met.

However, if the library is not installed on your system, you will likely be asked a question. This will ask permission to use some hard drive space. It will look something like the question below and the answer is Yes so type Y.

Not this library but an example of the question you might receive if the library is not yet installed.

With that we have one more library knocked out of the park. We are about to see our ninth place hitter so we are almost through to the other side where we can start playing with Ubertooth itself.
