Problem to install numpy in Visual Studio Code

[jan-hendrik.groth]

Hi everyone,

I want to use the Fusion 360 API to create cylinders of different diameters. I managed to create all the cylinders and I wanted to apply a normal distribution function to calculate the different cylinder diameters. Hence, I want to use numpy but I cannot install it.

I looked up some Forum entries about numpy errors and I tried what they explained but it did not work.

I hope some of you can help:

Problem: I have problems to install numpy in Visual Studio Code using the Fusion 360 Python 3.7.6 64-bit interpreter

OS: Windows 10

Software: Fusion 360 and Visual Studio Code

Python Interpreter Version: Python 3.7.6 64-bit

This is what I tried:

First I checked the following:

1. As described in the manual of the Fusion 360 API, I first created a module folder where I want to put the modules of my project.
2. In Visual Studio Code, I selected the Python distribution of Autodesk Fusion 360 in "Python select interpreter" Python 3.7.6 64-Bit
3. In Settings I checked that the pythonPath 
   \\AppData\\Local\\Autodesk\\webdeploy\\production\\424f8c95c53e4bcf60fdfcac8861ebfcf9c49f24\\Python\\python.exe is present

Then I tried the following in the Terminal:

pip install numpy
pip3 install numpy
python install numpy

with .\ and without, I also tried to use --target to put it directly in my folder.

Error Message:

The term "pip", "python" is not recognized as the name of cmdlet, function, script file ...

Then I tried openening Python in the Terminal:

1. I put the following into the terminal 

C:\\Users\\...\\AppData\\Local\\Autodesk\\webdeploy\\production\\424f8c95c53e4bcf60fdfcac8861ebfcf9c49f24\\Python\\python.exe ​

• Then I tried pip install numpy

>>>pip install numpy
File "<stdin>", line 1
    pip install numpy
              ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Did someone have the same problem or has any suggestions how solve this problem?
