you have to check your pip package to be updated to the latest version in your pycharm and then install numpy package. in settings -> project:progLangComp -> Project Interpreter there is a table of packages and their current version (just labelled as Version) and their latest version (labelled as Latest). Pip current version number should be the same as latest version. If you see a blue arrow in front of pip, you have to update it to the latest then trying to install numpy or any other packages that you couldn't install, for me it was pandas which I wanted to install.
