I'm wish to install Numpy for the www-data user, but I can not log into this user using login. How can I make www-data make us of the Numpy module?

To clarify. Numpy is available for root, and for my default user.

pip python

Another option would be to switch to that user and run it with

pip install --user package

There is that one issue (you probably ran into) that you cant switch to some users because some users have nologin shell. But you can always switch to that user passing shell you want like this:

sudo su -s /usr/bin www-data
