can't install pandas (ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'numpy')

Question

I'm on macOS 10.15 Beta, running a .py script that requires pandas, which is not installed.

When I run sudo python -m pip install --upgrade pandas I receive:

ERROR: Cannot uninstall 'numpy'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

If I run sudo pip install pandas I receive the same error.

Help appreciated.

I tried the solutions presented in the other answers, but what worked for me was installing pandas using conda.

sudo pip3 uninstall pandas

If still you are not able to uninstall pls share screenshot of error.

Answer 3

I found an alternative method to install pandas, by installing minicondas, and running conda install pandas.
