error when using pip to install Scipy python package on windows

Question

While trying to install scipy on windows using the following command in the Command Prompt:

pip install scipy

I get the following error:

raise NotFoundError<'no lapack/blas resources found'>

numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

After searching the web I've noticed it's a common problem and tried all suggested solutions with no success. One of the solutions I've tried is installing MinGW for windows...

This is becoming very frustrating... any ideas?

Have you tried to tried to install `scipy` using a Windows installer? like one of these: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.13.2/ — Steven Correia, Jul 01 '15 at 13:36

According to the scipy installation guide, you should not use pip for installation on Windows. Rather stick to a binary package provided here:
