Hi,

Perhaps you installed numpy for Python 2? What do you get when you type "python --version"? You could use virtualenv and use python 3 there (with -p), then pip install numpy in that virtualenv.

Or, do (without sufficient rights):
python3.6 $(which pip) install numpy

Untested (I don't own a Mac)
