Failed to install package 'sklearn'

Question

After a whole day struggle, here I finally give up and ask this question. I know this may not be totally appropriate to ask this question but I'm not able to install sklearn on PyCharm and even can't install it using pip.

Config: Windows 10, Pycharm community edition, Python 3.6

Here is a screen of the error:

The error messsage:

Can you tell us your configuration ? And see my answer, this is how I installed it on windows, tell me if it works for you — codingfish, Jun 01 '17 at 15:57

The easiest other way to install, is to use the command line. Open the command line, change the directory to your Pycharm directory and install it using pip.

You can also try reinstalling numpy.
