I am using python 3.5 on windows 10. I am not able to install some libraries like scipy, mlxtend and math.

I have installed and upgraded setuptools and ez_setup following this answer Python pip install gives "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1"

When I try to pip install scipy and mlxtend I get the following error:

NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

And when I try to install math I get the following error:

  Using cached Math-0.5.tar.gz
Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\raisa\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-e23g412r\math\setup.py", line 2, in <module>
    raise RuntimeError("Package 'Math' must not be downloaded from pypi")
RuntimeError: Package 'Math' must not be downloaded from pypi

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\raisa\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-e23g412r\math\

On Windows, you'll want to locate the unofficial binaries here and download the appropriate .whl files for the packages you're wanting to install. Use pip to install and upgrade wheel and setuptools then do pip install the_name_of_the_file.whl

so altogether, assuming you want to install matplotlib and the .whl file is in your current directory...

pip install wheel
pip install --upgrade setuptools
pip install matplotlib‑1.5.3‑cp35‑cp35m‑win32.whl
