Welcome to this list and, regretably, one of the worst aspects of Python.

You can download numpy-1.9.3+mkl-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl from 
http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and use pip to install the 
.whl file.

Another option is to get a version of Python with a preloaded scientific 
stack, see here http://www.scipy.org/install.html for several choices.

Then you can always install Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition.  That 
will take hours, should get rid of the infamous "unable to find 
*‘vcvarsall.bat’*" message but still isn't guaranteed to work, so 
strangely I don't recommend it.
