Installing SciPy with pip

Question

It is possible to install NumPy with pip using pip install numpy.

Is there a similar possibility with SciPy? (Doing pip install scipy does not work.)

Update

The package SciPy is now available to be installed with pip!

Answer 1

Addon for Ubuntu (Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx)):

The repository moved, but a

pip install -e git+http://github.com/scipy/scipy/#egg=scipy

failed for me... With the following steps, it finally worked out (as root in a virtual environment, where python3 is a link to Python 3.2.2): install the Ubuntu dependencies (see elaichi), clone NumPy and SciPy:

git clone git://github.com/scipy/scipy.git scipy

git clone git://github.com/numpy/numpy.git numpy

Build NumPy (within the numpy folder):

python3 setup.py build --fcompiler=gnu95

Install SciPy (within the scipy folder):

python3 setup.py install

Answer 2

To install scipy on windows follow these instructions:-

Step-1 : Press this link http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy to download a scipy .whl file (e.g. scipy-0.17.0-cp34-none-win_amd64.whl).

Step-2: Go to the directory where that download file is there from the command prompt (cd folder-name ).

Step-3: Run this command:

pip install scipy-0.17.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

Answer 3

1. install python-3.4.4
2. scipy-0.15.1-win32-superpack-python3.4
3. apply the following commend doc

py -m pip install --upgrade pip
py -m pip install numpy
py -m pip install matplotlib
py -m pip install scipy
py -m pip install scikit-learn

Answer 4

I tried all the above and nothing worked for me. This solved all my problems:

pip install -U numpy

pip install -U scipy

Note that the -U option to pip install requests that the package be upgraded. Without it, if the package is already installed pip will inform you of this and exit without doing anything.

Answer 5

An attempt to easy_install indicates a problem with their listing in the Python Package Index, which pip searches.

easy_install scipy
Searching for scipy
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/scipy/
Reading http://www.scipy.org
Reading http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=27747&package_id=19531
Reading http://new.scipy.org/Wiki/Download

All is not lost, however; pip can install from Subversion (SVN), Git, Mercurial, and Bazaar repositories. SciPy uses SVN:

pip install svn+http://svn.scipy.org/svn/scipy/trunk/#egg=scipy

Update (12-2012):

pip install git+https://github.com/scipy/scipy.git

Since NumPy is a dependency, it should be installed as well.

Answer 6

Prerequisite:

sudo apt-get install build-essential gfortran libatlas-base-dev python-pip python-dev
sudo pip install --upgrade pip

Actual packages:

sudo pip install numpy
sudo pip install scipy

Optional packages:

sudo pip install matplotlib   OR  sudo apt-get install python-matplotlib
sudo pip install -U scikit-learn
sudo pip install pandas
