Now, that is an interesting thought. When I go out and look for instructions on downloading packages, the instructions usually only say to
pip install . . . . whatever. They never specify sub directories. This is somewhat confusing for the newbies like me because installations just do their thing and I never really know where to find the installed packages. If I save all of the script on the screen, I can then look for the path but this is a tedious way of "knowing" where packages are installed. As it turns out, I input the instructions again and left the laptop for a long while and then . . . ta da! numpy was installed. Because it took so long to install, I thought it had crashed. Apparently it was still working in the background.
