Unable to install fancyimpute for use in Jupyter

Question

I have been trying to import fancyimpute on a Jupyter Notebook, as I am interested in using K Nearest Neighbors for data imputation purposes. However, I continue to get the error described in the screenshot.

I have already tried installing the following dependencies:

pip install ecos
pip install CVXcanon
pip install keras
pip install tensorflow
pip install fancyimpute

The error message is the following:

Using TensorFlow backend.

RuntimeError Traceback (most recent call last) RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0xb but this version of numpy is 0xa

ImportError Traceback (most recent call last) ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

I got the same error. Fixed by updating my numpy installation:

pip install numpy --upgrade --user

The --user flag installs numpy to my home directory, to avoid using sudo with pip.
