Windows Scipy Install: No Lapack/Blas Resources Fo

Question

I am trying to install python and a series of packages onto a 64bit windows 7 desktop. I have installed Python 3.4, have Microsoft Visual Studio C++ installed, and have successfully installed numpy, pandas and a few others. I am getting the following error when trying to install scipy;

numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

I am using pip install offline, the install command I am using is;

pip install --no-index --find-links="S:\python\scipy 0.15.0" scipy

I have read the posts on here about requiring a compiler which if I understand correctly is the VS C++ compiler. I am using the 2010 version as I am using Python 3.4. This has worked for other packages.

Do I have to use the window binary or is there a way I can get pip install to work?

Many thanks for the help

Answer 1

I was also getting same error while installing scikit-fuzzy. I resolved error as follows:

1. Install Numpy, a whl file
2. Install Scipy, again a whl file

choose file according to python version like amd64 for python3 and other win32 file for the python27

3. then pip install --user skfuzzy

I hope, It will work for you

Answer 2

The following link should solve all problems with Windows and SciPy; just choose the appropriate download. I was able to pip install the package with no problems. Every other solution I have tried gave me big headaches.

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

Command:

 pip install [Local File Location]\[Your specific file such as scipy-0.16.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl]

This assumes you have installed the following already:

1. Install Visual Studio 2015/2013 with Python Tools
   (Is integrated into the setup options on install of 2015)

2. Install Visual Studio C++ Compiler for Python
   Source: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44266
   File Name: VCForPython27.msi

3. Install Python Version of choice
   Source: python.org
   File Name (e.g.): python-2.7.10.amd64.msi

Answer 3

For python27 1、Install numpy + mkl（download link:http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/） 2、install scipy (the same site) OK!

Answer 4

Solutions:

1. As specified in many answers, download NumPy and SciPy whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and install with

   pip install <whl_location>
   

2. Building BLAS/LAPACK from source

3. Using Miniconda.

Answer 5

My python's version is 2.7.10, 64-bits Windows 7.

1. Download scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy
2. Open cmd
3. Make sure scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl is in cmd's current directory, then type pip install scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl.

It will be successful installed.

Answer 6

Simple and Fast Installation of Scipy with Windows

1. From http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy download the correct Scipy package for your Python version (e.g. the correct package for python 3.5 and Windows x64 is scipy-0.19.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl).
2. Open cmd inside the directory containing the downloaded Scipy package.
3. Type pip install <<your-scipy-package-name>> (e.g. pip install scipy-0.19.1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl).
