Installing NumPy and SciPy on 64-bit Windows (with Pip)

Question

I found out that it\'s impossible to install NumPy/SciPy via installers on Windows 64-bit, that\'s only possible on 32-bit. Because I need more memory than a 32-bit installa

Answer 1

for python 3.6, the following worked for me launch cmd.exe as administrator

pip install numpy-1.13.0+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win32 pip install scipy-0.19.1-cp36-cp36m-win32

Answer 2

You can install scipy and numpy using their wheels.

First install wheel package if it's already not there...

pip install wheel

Just select the package you want from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy

Example: if you're running python3.5 32 bit on Windows choose scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl then it will automatically download.

Then go to the command line and change the directory to the downloads folder and install the above wheel using pip.

Example:

cd C:\Users\[user]\Downloads
pip install scipy-0.18.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
