Question

I am using PIP to install Scipy with MKL to accelerate the performance. My OS is Ubuntu 64 bit. Using the solution from this question, I create a file .numpy-site.cfg

Answer 1

If you are having trouble installing or running with specific version then first uninstall and then install

Step 1:

pip uninstall -v numpy

Step 2: download the wheel file and install

pip install -U numpy-1.13.0+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

In this example wheel file name is "numpy-1.13.0+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl "
