please help installing SciPy. I think i've tried almost any advice i could find, but still no luck.

I am using Mac High OS Sierra 10.13.1, python 3.7, trying to make this work for IntellIJ IDEA 2017.2 IDE. I have Xcode version 9.2 if that helps.

  1. I've tried instaling from IDE, using package installer -> fails with error status code 1.
  2. I've tried installing using pip3 install scipy
  3. I've installed brew install gcc ( I have version 7.2.0 installed)
  4. I've installed numpy.
  5. I've tried to install using Macports as suggested on official site - didn't help.
  6. I've tried to instal using brew install scipy.
  7. I've tried to install using Conda. It installed somewhere to Conda Dir, but i still cannot access library from python file using import scipy, error: No module named scipy.

Looks like i am just going in loops now, can some one suggest any idea please?

  • What's the errors you are getting? For example using `pip3` approach? – Eypros Dec 15 '17 at 08:14

  • Some additional info, it looks like conda actually installed SciPy, but i cant understand how to access from my IDE. Commands like 'conda remove scipy' 'conda install scipy' or 'brew remove scipy' 'brew install scipy' work just fine. But i still cant figure out how to use it. – Andrei Kusto Dec 15 '17 at 14:16

Ok looks like i made it work.

This thread: helped me.

It appeared I was actaully able to install scipy package using conda. But my Python didn't see the package. So i had to:

  1. Change Right Click on my project in IDE > Project > New > Python SDK > Add Local
  2. Select Python in Conda dir. In my case it was /Users/[my user ]/miniconda3/bin/python3.6
  3. Restart IDE just in case and my python script was able to see import scipy.
  4. The downside of this - that I cannot install packages the clean way from IDE anymore for some reason. I.e. Tools > Manage Python Packages > + > doesn't find any. And I have to reinstall all the packages i had using conda install [package name] from terminal . But I am fine with it, as long as it works.

Hopefully my quest might be useful for someone.
