Installing NumPy

I have Windows Vista and am开发者_JAVA技巧 running Python 2.7. I am having trouble installing some Python libraries including, NumPy, SciPy, and pygame. I am currently trying to copy the NumPy file straight to my computer (C:\numpy) and then unziping the file there. In a command prompt I then run the code;

cd c:\numpy
python setup.py config
python setup.py install

When I get to the "python setup.py config" part, the command prompt says "this is the wrong setup.py file to run"

Any suggestions?

This is the ANSWER for installing numpy on Windows 8 64 bit.

All you need is:

1.Python, installed in your system, in my case its c:\Python27, its 2.7 version.

2.Install pip if not available.

3. download "numpy-1.9.2+mkl-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl" file for 64 bit, you can find this here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy

if you don't find it there use mine at: https://github.com/pawanputtaswamy/Libs

How to install:

1.open command prompt (Windows + r and type cmd)

2.Go to pip directory, in my case (cd c:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe)

3.Run the following command: pip.exe install \numpy-1.9.2+mkl-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

Done

Numpy, Scypy and pygame all have windows installers; You are advised to use these installers in favor of archive versions. Make sure you match the version (3.2, 2.7) and archetecture (i386 or x86_64) as the python binary you have installed.

Alternatively, depending on your time constraints and situation you could use Enthought's prepackaged python distribution for Windows. The free version: http://www.enthought.com/products/epd_free.php has everything you need except pygame which you should be able to install with easy_install once everything else is in place.

Open the Python shell and input as such:

>>> import pip
>>> pip.main(["install","numpy"])

In fact,the method of installing numpy is very easy and quick.First,make sure that Python has already been installed.Then,download the numpy module on sites,such as http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/, which provides the numpy module for python2.6. Finally,double click the module,the rest you have to do is just let it go on.and,it will be installed naturally.

Just go here http://continuum.io/downloads and download the graphical installer. It will install Numpy, Scipy and a tonne of other useful stuff.

This is a screenshot that can help, Note that I use Ubuntu as operating System
