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

If you are working with Windows and Visual Studio 2015

• Install miniconda http://conda.pydata.org/miniconda.html
• Change your python environment to python 3.4 (32bit)
• click on python environment 3.4 and open cmd

Enter the following commands

• "conda install numpy"
• "conda install pandas"
• "conda install scipy"

Sorry to necro, but this is the first google search result. This is the solution that worked for me:

1. Download numpy+mkl wheel from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy. Use the version that is the same as your python version (check using python -V). Eg. if your python is 3.5.2, download the wheel which shows cp35

2. Open command prompt and navigate to the folder where you downloaded the wheel. Run the command: pip install [file name of wheel]

3. Download the SciPy wheel from: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy (similar to the step above).

4. As above, pip install [file name of wheel]
