Frustratingly the Numpy package published to PyPI won't install on most Windows computers https://github.com/numpy/numpy/issues/5479

Instead:

1. Download the Numpy wheel for your Python version from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy
2. Install it from the command line pip install numpy-1.10.2+mkl-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl
