We will discuss how you will install NumPy from the command line, although you can probably use graphical installers; it depends on your distribution (distro). The commands to install matplotlib, SciPy, and IPython are the same—only the package names are different. Installing matplotlib, SciPy, and IPython is recommended, but optional.
