Unable to install Scipy in windows?

Question

Try installing scipy from here:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy

You'll need to know your version of python to choose correctly (I see you have 3.6). Also you'll need to know if it is 32 or 64 bits. You can do it by trial and error ;) or you can check the output of python.exe:

Python 3.5.1 (v3.5.1:37a07cee5969, Dec 6 2015, 01:38:48) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

The bold part indicates which version it is (don't get mislead by win32 part).

Another option is to install anaconda. It is much heavier but you don't need to know anything.

I've also tried this but how to Run that Wheel file then? – Siraj Munir May 25 '17 at 18:30
@Siraj Munir `pip install scipy‑0.19.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl` – Antony Hatchkins May 25 '17 at 18:31
I have that page bookmarked for reasons such as this – Wondercricket May 25 '17 at 18:31
Run cmd.exe in the directory where you've downloaded the whl file and enter `pip install scipy‑0.19.0‑cp36‑cp36m‑win_amd64.whl` there. Push Enter. – Antony Hatchkins May 25 '17 at 18:32
**C:\Users\Siraj Munir\Desktop>pip install scipy-0.19.0.whl Requirement 'scipy-0.19.0.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist scipy-0.19.0.whl is not a valid wheel filename.** – Siraj Munir May 25 '17 at 18:39
My file exist in Desktop directory with the name given above in error comment! – Siraj Munir May 25 '17 at 18:41
It sounds silly, but renames are not allowed for whl files. Even `(1)` that Chrome adds to the filename if it already exists is disastrous for pip. Did you manage to install it? – Antony Hatchkins May 25 '17 at 19:01
