Answer 1

First go through this link https://www.python.org/downloads/ to download python 3.6.1 or 2.7.13 either of your choice.I preferred to use python 2.7 or 3.4.4 .now after installation go to the folder name python27/python34 then click on script now here open the command prompt by left click ad run as administration. After the command prompt appear write their "pip install numpy" this will install the numpy latest version and installing it will show success comment that's all. Similarly matplotlib can be install by just typing "pip install matplotlip". And now if you want to download scipy then just write "pip install scipy" and if it doesn't work then you need to download python scipy from the link https://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/ and install it.

Install miniconda (here)

After installed, open Anaconda Prompt (search this in Start Menu)

Write:

pip install numpy

After installed, test:

import numpy as np
