Installing numba for python
installation, numba, python
Solution
I hope you are on Linux and you have pip installed. On my Debian Linux, I can easily install numba by following commands:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install llvm
pip install llvmpy
pip install cython
pip install numba
Then you are done!
Problem
I am trying to install numba for python but after following the instruction from the homepage I got this error that the extension_types page can not be found. I would very appreciate if someone knows what I am doing wrong or if I missed something that I should install. Thank you very much in advance. ``` Python 2.7.2+ (default, Jul 20 2012, 22:15:08) Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
