Upgrade version of Pandas

Question

I am running Python on a Windows machine at the following path:

C:\WinPython-64bit-3.4.4.1

I am trying to upgrade to the latest version of pandas (currently running '0.17.1') but am having problems.

I have looked at previous posts and have tried on the command line using :

c:/>pip install --upgrade pandas

but just got 'pip is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file'.

How did you install pandas originally? Many people now use `conda`, part of the Anaconda distribution. — chrisaycock, Jun 21 '16 at 20:42

Simple Solution, just type the below:

conda update pandas

Type this in your preferred shell (on Windows, use Anaconda Prompt as administrator).

This worked for me with the exception that I had to run cmd as administrator. Running on Windows 10. – Bob Wakefield Nov 04 '17 at 23:00
