Installing Numpy on 64bit Windows 7 with Python 2.7.3

Try the (unofficial) binaries in this site:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy

You can get the newest numpy x64 with or without Intel MKL libs for Python 2.7 or Python 3.


Assuming you have python 2.7 64bit on your computer and have downloaded numpy from here, follow the steps below (changing numpy‑1.9.2+mkl‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl as appropriate).

  1. Download (by right click and "save target") get-pip to local drive.

  2. At the command prompt, navigate to the directory containing get-pip.py and run

    python get-pip.py

    which creates files in C:\Python27\Scripts, including pip2, pip2.7 and pip.

  3. Copy the downloaded numpy‑1.9.2+mkl‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl into the above directory (C:\Python27\Scripts)

  4. Still at the command prompt, navigate to the above directory and run:

    pip2.7.exe install "numpy‑1.9.2+mkl‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl"
