Pandas installs with pip and pulls in NumPy automatically. Always work inside a virtual environment so versions do not clash between projects. Afterwards, print the version to confirm the installation.
Note:
In a Jupyter notebook you can run
!pip install pandas in a cell.Example: Installing Pandas
$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install pandas
