[SciPy-User] Installing NumPy/SciPy on Windows without the use of Pip

[Whalen, Joel C]

These are some really great tips! Helps me a lot with just learning python in general. 

I don't have internet on this desktop pc due to an internal issue, but I ended up getting numpy installed with an internal tool! It's a cop-out, I know. But I never understood python wheels until you emailed me this, so I appreciate it a lot. 

I also didn't know about that -c argument. That's awesome and quick. 

Thank you for everything,

- Joel

You're nearly there!   First - upgrade pip to the latest version:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Then try installing the `*amd64.whl` - if your *Python* is 64-bit.
Remember that your Python may be 32-bit even though your Windows is 64 bit.  Test which, with:

python -c "import platform; print(platform.architecture())"

Cheers,

Matthew
