If chenchao installed Python from a distro package (always recommended)
then that link is exactly what he needs to do.  In fact it would be a
good idea to install numpy from the repositories using apt-get also, if
it's there.

If he installed python from source (sounds like he did, since he
"x-compiled" it), he should already have pip as it's a standard part of
python since 2.7.9.  If pip isn't in the path, he can try:

python -m pip install numpy

and see what happens. Alternatively he can download this:
https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py

and then run it with:

python get-pip.py
