Regardless of this project (and whatever reasons caused numba not to pip-install, which you should fix before it bites you somewhere else), I would recommend looking at miniconda. It is not "another package manager" - it's an environment manager, and that's way more useful. Apt/yum can't track different sets of dependencies for different projects for you, but conda does beautifully and easily, while keeping environments documented (in terms of what's installed) and isolated. Really, miniconda is an under appreciated gem
