Error in installing scipy on Windows 10

Question

When I attempt to install scipy on Windows 10, it fails

>Installing collected packages: scipy
  Running setup.py install for scipy ... error
    Complete output from command c:\users\ashima\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='C:\\Users\\ashima\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-build-1wbaof6j\\scipy\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record C:\Users\ashima\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-mea6a2r6-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile:

Note: if you need reliable uninstall behavior, then install
with pip instead of using `setup.py install`:

  - `pip install .`       (from a git repo or downloaded source
                           release)
  - `pip install scipy`   (last SciPy release on PyPI)

Sounds like you should use pip, based on "install with pip instead of using `setup.py install`". We don't know what you tried that produced this. — Arya McCarthy, Apr 27 '17 at 16:41
It's tough work on Windows. Instead, you can first download `numpy + mkl` from [here](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy) and install the `.whl` (I think you need `pip install wheel` first, then open cmd in the same directory as the downloaded file and do `pip install the_file_name`. Also you can get the other scientific programs from there. — roganjosh, Apr 27 '17 at 16:55

I had a similar error when I installed scipy. I have found it much easier to just install it using Anaconda. The installer is here: https://www.continuum.io/downloads

Caution: it will also install other python libs related to data science such as NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, Matplotlib, and Jupyter. A full list by python version is here: https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/pkg-docs#python-3-6

I installed this after having python already installed, and there was no issue.

Sorry for not answering your question directly, but this will deliver you scipy and many more goodies!

"Sorry for not answering your question directly" I'd argue that between my comment and your answer, they are the only valid ways to fix the OP's issue. The scientific stack does not like Windows at all. – roganjosh Apr 27 '17 at 17:06

Ha! Thanks for backing me up on this, @roganjosh . I will have to try what your comment suggests next time I need to install, especially if I need a leaner stack. – epicTreeStick Apr 27 '17 at 17:14

Thankyou for your answers.

But I found a better solution to this. My problem got resolved by downloading numpy wheel file, scipy wheel file and the scikit-learn wheel file and installing it the same way as we install any other python file.
