I have been trying to install numpy to run some code that was made by someone else. The issue I am having is that when I run the code a numpy Import Error is thrown telling me that I am missing required c files.

I am running the code in an anaconda env

• Conda version 24.5.0
• Python version 3.11
• Numpy version 2.0.0
• Numpy-base version 1.26.4

Importing the numpy C-extensions failed. This error can happen for
many reasons, often due to issues with your setup or how NumPy was
installed.

We have compiled some common reasons and troubleshooting tips at:

    https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html

Please note and check the following:

  * The Python version is: Python3.11 from "C:UsersVinr5anaconda3envsresearchpython.exe"
  * The NumPy version is: "2.0.0"

and make sure that they are the versions you expect.
Please carefully study the documentation linked above for further help.

Original error was: DLL load failed while importing _multiarray_umath: The paging file is too small for this operation to complete.

This is accompanied by a long error message which I will have to cut short to fit StackOverflow’s post requirements

Following the link in the error message I have done the following

1. Verified that I have the correct numpy and python version installed
2. Uninstalled and reinstalled numpy through conda install -c conda-forge numpy
3. Uninstalled and reinstalled numpy through pip install numpy. Taking care that I have removed numpy from the environment before I pip install numpy.
4. I have tried all of these on conda version 4.10, 4.14, 22.3, 24.5
5. I have removed all other installations of python that aren’t the anaconda specific installation as well as their environment variable paths
6. Building numpy from source following their directions failed on the final step because package metadata generation failed.

All of these things I have tried on two computers and have gotten the same results.
