Установка pandas

Столкнулся с проблемой, не получается начать работать с pandas.
Не знаю по какой причине, либо я неправильно устанавливаю, либо я не правильно пытаюсь использовать pandas.
Пробовал установить pandas 2 способами:
1) открывал cmd 2) вводил python -m pip install pandas 3) перезапустите PyCharm Community Edition 4) пишу следующий код:
import pandas as pd pd.test()
После чего выдает следующую ошибку:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pandas’
2) Устанавливал анаконду и пытался установить pandas, потом прописывал код:
import pandas as pd pd.test()
После чего выдает следующую ошибку:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pandas’
Не понимаю, что я делаю не правильно.
Прошу вашей помощи.

Если ты используешь PyCharm:
1. File
2. Settings
3. Project_name
4. Python interpreter
5. В этом окне жми на плюсик, или альт+ентер, ищи pandas, ставь.
Можно написать много строк, почему так, но захочешь — погуглишь.

How to Install Pandas in Python?
Pandas in Python is a package that is written for data analysis and manipulation. Pandas offer various operations and data structures to perform numerical data manipulations and time series. Pandas is an open-source library that is built over Numpy libraries. Pandas library is known for its high productivity and high performance. Pandas are popular because they make importing and analyzing data much easier. Pandas programs can be written on any plain text editor like Notepad, notepad++, or anything of that sort and saved with a .py extension.

Installation#
The easiest way to install pandas is to install it as part of the Anaconda distribution, a cross platform distribution for data analysis and scientific computing. The Conda package manager is the recommended installation method for most users.
Instructions for installing from source , PyPI , or a development version are also provided.
Python version support#
Officially Python 3.9, 3.10, 3.11 and 3.12.
Installing pandas#
Installing with Anaconda#
For users that are new to Python, the easiest way to install Python, pandas, and the packages that make up the PyData stack (SciPy, NumPy, Matplotlib, and more) is with Anaconda, a cross-platform (Linux, macOS, Windows) Python distribution for data analytics and scientific computing. Installation instructions for Anaconda can be found here.
Installing with Miniconda#
For users experienced with Python, the recommended way to install pandas with Miniconda. Miniconda allows you to create a minimal, self-contained Python installation compared to Anaconda and use the Conda package manager to install additional packages and create a virtual environment for your installation. Installation instructions for Miniconda can be found here.
The next step is to create a new conda environment. A conda environment is like a virtualenv that allows you to specify a specific version of Python and set of libraries. Run the following commands from a terminal window.
conda create -c conda-forge -n name_of_my_env python pandas
This will create a minimal environment with only Python and pandas installed. To put your self inside this environment run.
source activate name_of_my_env # On Windows activate name_of_my_env
Installing from PyPI#
pandas can be installed via pip from PyPI.
pip install pandas
You must have pip>=19.3 to install from PyPI.
It is recommended to install and run pandas from a virtual environment, for example, using the Python standard library’s venv
pandas can also be installed with sets of optional dependencies to enable certain functionality. For example, to install pandas with the optional dependencies to read Excel files.
pip install "pandas[excel]"
The full list of extras that can be installed can be found in the dependency section.
Handling ImportErrors#
If you encounter an ImportError , it usually means that Python couldn’t find pandas in the list of available libraries. Python internally has a list of directories it searches through, to find packages. You can obtain these directories with.
import sys sys.path
One way you could be encountering this error is if you have multiple Python installations on your system and you don’t have pandas installed in the Python installation you’re currently using. In Linux/Mac you can run which python on your terminal and it will tell you which Python installation you’re using. If it’s something like “/usr/bin/python”, you’re using the Python from the system, which is not recommended.
It is highly recommended to use conda , for quick installation and for package and dependency updates. You can find simple installation instructions for pandas in this document .
Installing from source#
See the contributing guide for complete instructions on building from the git source tree. Further, see creating a development environment if you wish to create a pandas development environment.
Installing the development version of pandas#
Installing the development version is the quickest way to:
- Try a new feature that will be shipped in the next release (that is, a feature from a pull-request that was recently merged to the main branch).
- Check whether a bug you encountered has been fixed since the last release.
The development version is usually uploaded daily to the scientific-python-nightly-wheels index from the PyPI registry of anaconda.org. You can install it by running.
pip install --pre --extra-index https://pypi.anaconda.org/scientific-python-nightly-wheels/simple pandas
Note that you might be required to uninstall an existing version of pandas to install the development version.
pip uninstall pandas -y
Running the test suite#
pandas is equipped with an exhaustive set of unit tests. The packages required to run the tests can be installed with pip install «pandas[test]» . To run the tests from a Python terminal.
>>> import pandas as pd >>> pd.test() running: pytest -m "not slow and not network and not db" /home/user/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pandas ============================= test session starts ============================== platform linux -- Python 3.9.7, pytest-6.2.5, py-1.11.0, pluggy-1.0.0 rootdir: /home/user plugins: dash-1.19.0, anyio-3.5.0, hypothesis-6.29.3 collected 154975 items / 4 skipped / 154971 selected .
