pip install numpy (python 2.7) fails with errorcode 1

Question

I\'m installing numpy through pip on python 2.7.9... I checked pip list, and it returns pip (1.5.6), setuptools (12.0.4). I\'m running on Windows 7

Answer 1

Download the wheel (.whl file) file from here and install with pip:

1. pip install wheel to install support for wheel files.
2. pip install numpy‑1.9.1+mkl‑cp27‑none‑win32.whl to install the wheel.
