Not all systems have a 'pip' executable. If a 'pip' exectuable does
exist, it might not be the same version as your defualt python
executable. It's usually a better idea to do it this way:
$ python -m pip install --user numpy
That said, if you're on Linux system, you're almostg always better off
using your distro's package manger to install numpy.
