How can I install Numba for Spyder?

[Fausto A. A. Barbuto]

Hello,

Spyder imported every library I tried so far, except Numba. An error 

pops out. Yet Numpy, Matplotlib and several other packages can be 

imported without problems. I also observed that Python's "regular" 

packages and Spyder's are installed on different locations. Example:

Python:

>>> import numpy
>>> numpy.__file__
'C:\\Program Files\\Python\\lib\\site-packages\\numpy\\__init__.py'

Spyder:

In [1]: import numpy

In [2]: numpy.__file__
Out[2]: 'C:\\Program Files\\Spyder\\pkgs\\numpy\\__init__.py'

And that's why (I think) Numba can't be imported: it simply does not 

exist in 'C:\\Program Files\\Spyder\\pkgs\\'. 

Hence my question: how could I install Numba for Spyder? Spyder's 

default Python interpreter does not come with pip.

I'm not using conda, and pointing Spyder to the Python interpreter in 

C:\Program Files\Python (with Tools/Preferences/Python Interpreter) 

did not work.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Problem solved. I installed pip on C:\Program Files\Spyder with get_pip.py and installed numba 

easily with pip. Spyder had to be restarted though for the changes to take effect. Much simpler

than I thought. Thanks to everyone who cared to help.
