Install Python, Numpy, Matplotlib, Scipy on Windows

See • Install Python with Ma... for a more recent video on Python 3.6 with NumPy, SciPy, and Matplotlib. This tutorial covers how to download and install Python 3.4 on a Windows computer. Python often requires certain modules such as Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib for scientific computing or others such as Pygame for making games. Modules can either be installed by using a command-line tool like pip or else downloading the package from sites like SourceForge or Christoph Gohlke's unofficial Python Extensions (www.lfd.uci.edu.... To install a whl file, use 'pip install C:/path_to_whl/name.whl'. You shouldn't modify the whl file name after downloading it because pip uses the file name to identify compatibility.

[@HT-rq5pi]

this video is a god send. finally someone who shows us how to do it properly instead of skipping steps, especially in getting the command window to open in the right place. (for me, the bat file method didn't work, so I just did shift+right click + open command window here on the folder "Scripts". )

[@apm]

+Walter White, thanks for sharing the alternate way to open the command prompt in the correct directory.

[@zekkerriyyazekeri4005]

please could you expantiate on this method because the bat filde method is not working for me

[@zekkerriyyazekeri4005]

+Walter White..thank you

[@apm]

Zekkerriyya Zekeri, hold the shift key and right-click with your mouse in the folder. Select "open command window" and you should have it.

[@etiennestocker6314]

Thank you so much for that tip! Made my afternoon

[@emine30]

It was a life-saving tutorial. Thanks for that I have been trying to do this for three days, thankfully I came across your video and it worked very well. Thanks again!

[@apm]

Glad it helped!

[@Sultanofszing]

Great vid m8. One thing you might find cool is that instead of creating .bat files, you can simply hold shift+right-click on the directory name in Windows (Downloads, Pictures etc) and click open command window here !

[@apm]

That is a great tip - thanks for sharing!

[@Sheblah1]

Worked smoothly all the way through, thank you so much!

[@fhasenov]

Here 1:39 is install NumPy

[@Darchyism]

Just started with python - you made my life so much easier - THANK YOU!

[@successfulpeople]

Thanks for the tutorial. I was about to download matplotlib when I saw your tutorial and it helped a lot. From your tutorial, It looks like some modules like matplotlib, etc, already come with python and all we have to do is go to the scripts to install them. I didn't download it, I went to the script and typed pip install matplotlib and it went smoothly. Thanks again for the clear tutorial

[@rrc]

great observation! one small detail is that pip finds the correct version online, downloads, and installs (including any dependencies). It makes the installation of modules almost effortless.

[@kong4902]

thankyou so much, sir, I have looking for this method to install numpy for a whole night, you're so nice!

[@ninja2koo]

Thank you for the tutorial! This was extremely helpful and a huge time saver for me as I have never installed through the command prompt.

Thanks sir! This video was a huge help to the newcomers into python like me. I just could not install the 'Scipy' package through the scipy.exe from the website. But I used the .zip file given in the website. Again thanks for this beautiful illustrative video for us newcomers!

[@rrc]

Rivu Bhattacharya, thanks for the tip on using the zip file.

[@rivubhattacharya]

[@jasonvalverde9266]

Cuando quiero instalar el Scipy como esta en el video, me sale que python 3.4 no está instalado, no lo reconoce. Alguna sugerencia?

[@rrc]

It appears that the Scipy version on SourceForge hasn't been updated since 2016 and the installer appears to only work up to version 3.4 of Python. You have a couple options including: (1) install Python 3.4 instead of Python 3.6, (2) use the zipped folder as Riva mentioned above and try the install with the setup.py script from sourceforge.net/projects/scipy/files/scipy/0.16.1/ (3) get the latest version of Anaconda that includes Python, Numpy, Scipy, and many other commonly used packages (4) try "pip install scipy" or (5) compile SciPy from source files (not recommended).

[@gavega]

Thanks. I tried other recommendations and this one is the only one that answered my questions.

[@vishalnayyar4069]

my folder( python34) in c drive doesnt have lib and script subfolders in it during installation. what do i do??

[@apm]

There was probably a problem with your installation. I recommend that you uninstall all of your Python versions and start with Python 3.7+. apmonitor.com/pdc/index.php/Main/InstallPython

[@josephsabu9739]

I can't install numpy, i can't create the local.bat file.... it remains itself as a text file

[@apm]

You need to enable file extensions: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j52xapSubN52ZqM

[@Fnatixful]

I have python 3.6 :( I tried the whl file but got an error nvm I manage to do "pip install scipy-0.19.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl"

[@yedye9182]

When you make the text document and type in cmd, how do you open the pip install nump screen with the black background. I'm confused how you opened it

[@apm]

If you name the file with extension .bat and double click the file then it opens. You may need to show file extensions so it isn't local.bat.txt but is local.bat. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j52xapSubN52ZqM You can also hold SHIFT and right click to open a PowerShell window.

[@kvanta3256]

when i enter 'pip install numpy' i get: pip is not a recognized command

[@apm]

You need to add pip.exe to your PATH environment variable or else run from Python subfolder /Scripts such as C:/Python37/Scripts

[@vipinsainilol]

Great! video...starting from scratch and anyone can learn how to download and start Python..

[@carlosj3491]

Highly recommended, it works for me.

[@PO-yj8dw]

Hello AP, how did you create the command prompt window after you closed the local.bat file. Your tutorial seems good, however be aware that some of your viewers are beginners and require you to do things step by step.Thanks

[@apm]

+Paa Kwesi, you should be able to open it with a double click of the mouse. If it doesn't open then you may need to change the hidden extension local.bat.txt to local.bat with instructions here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j52xapSubN52ZqM The other option for opening the command prompt is to hold shift, right-click, and select the option to open a command window.

[@Stephanus21]

Thank you for this. It was so easy with this video.Could not install mine before but now it is fine.Keep up the good work.

[@apm]

[@profarvind]

Thanks. The video was informative. After following it I was able to successfully install scipy and numpy.

[@antoniovelazquez9869]

One question: I understand that Anaconda is a python distribution, but does that mean that it installs "another" python which will work in parallel with the current one I have on my PC? And that the packages installed with Anaconda will only be available in this "parallel" python and not in my current python?? This tutorial worked for me to install each package manually, but I wonder about the Anaconda option. Thanks!

[@shreyaudupa9229]

I am trying to install a module using pip, but keep getting this error. "Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\" .... Do you know what issue I might be running into?

[@apm]

+Shreya Udupa, it could be that the pip version of the package is not compatible with your version of Python. What is the package? Sometimes you need to get the installer for that package if pip doesn't work. You could also try to revert to a minor release earlier (such as Python 3.4) to maximize the chances that the package is supported.

[@shishirpali4964]

A must watch videos for budding python user, the video is really a great help for me.Can i ask you for some more help ? 1. I am using spyder for coding but as i saw in your video there was auto syntax help popping out(sorry didn't know the technical name for that) when print function was used. How to do that ? 2.I was using sypder (with python 2.7 version), recently I have installed python 3.7 but is still displaying sypder 2.7 version? This ques. may sound stupid to you but i have just started using python

[@apm]

Auto-complete is in many of the Python IDEs (Integrated Development Environment). There is additional information on installing the latest Python versions from apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/PythonIntroduction You may also want to use PyCharm that is popular in academia because it is free for students. I also like to use Notepad++ at times for editing Python scripts. There is information on Auto-Complete here: stackoverflow.com/questions/893761/how-can-i-enable-auto-complete-support-in-notepad

[@AiswaryaM739]

I have python 3.7.2, scipy 3.4 doesn't work for me!!!!

[@apm]

pip install scipy or pip3 install scipy These should work in the latest release. See more instructions on Scipy installation at apmonitor.com/pdc/index.php/Main/InstallPython (Video #2).

[@anshumanshinde6535]

I am following the video step by step . While downloading Scipy it gave an error on cmd as you showed. Then i downloaded it the same version 3.4 from the website you have shown. But it says cannot find python 3.4 in registery. What can I do?

[@apm]

+anshuman shinde, you may have Python 3.5+ installed. There is another comment on this video that points you to a website that has updated whl files for Python 3.5+ or else uninstall your current version and go back to Python 3.4.

One way to get a command prompt in Windows is to hold "Shift" and then Right-click in the folder. Select "Open PowerShell window here". Another way is to run the command "cmd" from the launcher to get a DOS command prompt. You'll then need to change directory with "cd" into the appropriate folder.

[@apm]

+Quang Le, you need to install Python 3.4 (not the latest 3.6) because the SciPy package isn't updated for higher versions. Check out www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy for some more updated versions.

[@matthewjames7513]

Hi there, I'm trying to install Scipy but pip doesn't work and source forge doesn't offer scipy for Python version 3.5. Can you please advise? Thanks :)

[@apm]

Here are a few things to try: (1) download the source files and try to build it yourself. You'll need the required C / Fortran compilers and also many of the library dependencies. (2) install the Anaconda version (many popular packages included in the distribution) instead of from python.org. This will also give you the Jupyter notebook as well as Spyder (nice IDE/debugger). Visit www.continuum.io/downloads (3) if you do need IDLE then just go back to Python 3.4. The latest version is scipy-0.16.1-win32-superpack-python3.4.exe (as of 2/20/2017). (4) if you ever see an access denied statement, start Python with administrative privileges (Windows) or sudo (Linux). Try the pip install again but use the following two lines inside a Python session: import pip pip.main(['install','scipy']) This isn't your problem but this is a good strategy if you have multiple versions of Python installed or it is blocking you from writing to a certain directory. Additional instructions are here: apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/PythonIntroduction

[@SkrixlerAnon]

problem solved. :D I uninstalled the 64bit version and installed the 32bit version and then it works :D

[@apm]

+SkrixlerAnon, if you have another version of Python installed, it can sometimes get confused. Also, make sure you are consistent on 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You may want to use Canopy or Anaconda distributions if you are having troubles.

[@yc5042]

Where should I save the downloaded "numpy-1.12.0b1+mkl-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl" before I run "pip install numpy"?

[@apm]

The "pip install numpy" should retrieve the source files automatically and install them. If you need to install from a whl file you can navigate to the directory where the whl is located and install with "pip install mywhlfile.whl".

[@Addicted2Gossip]

[@apm]

+Nicole Priddey, you need to go into folder options and deselect the option for "hide extensions for known file types". You can also just run "cmd" and that will give you a command window. You'll need to "cd" into the correct directory. The local.bat file just gives you a command window that is already in the directory that you want.

[@nurshah816]

why did i get error python 3.4 required when i try to install scipy the way you showed, even i tried with admin rights

[@apm]

See Christoph Gohlke's unofficial Python Extensions (www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy) for NumPy or SciPy. To install a whl file, use 'pip install C:/path_to_whl/name.whl'. You shouldn't modify the whl file name after downloading it because pip uses the file name to identify compatibility.

For Anaconda, you'll want to use the conda package manager (see conda.pydata.org/docs/using/pkgs.html). You can also import Excel data with Numpy or Pandas if you can't get openpyxl to work (see apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/PythonDataAnalysis).

[@rrc]

There is also the option to download the source files for Scipy as a zipped or gz archive. I'd recommend downloading the source files and running setup.py. This typically takes care of none-traditional installations. Some modules can be installed by just copying the source file folder into the Python34 Lib folder. You may also want to check out the Anaconda distribution at continuum.io - it contains most of the common packages and conda can be used to get add-on modules.

+Joel Archbold, it may be that you have the 'Folder Option' selected to hide extensions for known file types. I saw that you posted a comment to one of my other videos that you finally got it.

[@joelarchbold483]

Yes, it had no impact. The main issue was I was previously using 64 bit, so most of the files had to be downloaded and placed on the correct place. So I preferred to switch to 32. Your material is very helpful to people trying to start with code, once you have the instruments it becomes easy.

You should put that as a tag when that part comes up in the video. So we don't have to come down and find an answer in the dreaded comment sections.

[@Dreynit]

2:05 how do you create that command window of Python? you don't explain like it's perfectly normal

[@apm]

You double-click the local.bat file that you create with contents "cmd". You may need to show file extensions for known file types (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/j52xapSubN52ZqM) in order to change the file name from local.bat.txt to local.bat. The other way to bring up the command prompt is to hold "Shift" and right click in the folder. You'll see an option to either run a command terminal or PowerShell that is already in that directory. A third way to do this is to run "cmd" from the Windows search bar and change directory with cd "C:/Python34/Scipts" or to the correct folder where pip is located.

[@Dreynit]

Thanks a lot it finally works! Thank you really, your video is really great

[@snehilkumar2819]

Thanks a lot, the video guide me to successfully install the programs. I discovered, I can only open using notepad when I IDLE to run a program and save as .py file. Please there a way to correct this or it is okay. Thank you,

[@apm]

You may need to change the file extension from .txt to .py. Here is a tutorial on how to show and change the file extensions even without IDLE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j52xapSubN52ZqM

My fault is Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users.... while I installing Theano with commands: pip install Theano. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

[@apm]

+Hoàng Huỳnh you may need to update your package manager. Here is a relevant thread: stackoverflow.com/questions/11425106/python-pip-install-fails-invalid-command-egg-info

[@venkatashish2219]

hi, i could install numpy successfully, but when i am trying scipy by the second method(from sourceforg), while installing it... it throws the error "python version 3.4, which was not found in the directory". how to solve this

[@apm]

+Venkat Ashish, you are probably trying to install a more recent version of SciPy while the SourceForge version is only compatible with 3.4. Here is a link to versions that work with more recent versions. You'll need to download and do a local install (still with pip). Warning: don't change the filename because it uses that to identify compatibility. www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy

[@venkatashish2219]

can you please tell me how to do local install, because i tried with every version of scipy... i think i am not able to properly install it.

[@apm]

You install a whl file just like you do a package. You want to put the whl file into the working directory (maybe C:\Python36\Scripts) and then run pip with: pip install scipy-version-platform.whl Just substitute the name of your whl file.

[@venkatashish2219]

could install it, thank you so much sir to take your precious time and help me out.... thank you so much sir.

[@avisparx]

Thanks a lot for this video, it saved me a lot of time.

[@SuperCamNewton]

when I try to install scipy it says python 2.7 not found. I have the 64 bit version installed. Do I need to uninstall it and install the 32 bit version for this to work?

[@apm]

Yes, I'd recommend starting with a 32-bit version. Only 32-bit is available from Python.org currently. Here is a new video if you'd like to try Python 3.6 instead: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKaZq6puaLWigdE

[@apm]

Another way to get the command prompt at 2:06 is to hold Shift+Right click and select "Open command window" or "Open PowerShell".

[@SuperCamNewton]

Thank you for your help.

[@ArtVandelayInc]

Oh man! you are a lifesaver thank you so much!

[@pouria1361]

i have python 3.6. what should i do? i need scipy but you installed it on your python 3.4.4.

[@apm]

+PIX PAI, you may need to compile from source or a whl file. You can pip install a whl but I haven't seen one for Windows. I'd recommend either going back to 3.4 or else use Anaconda to get the latest 3.6 version.

[@pouria1361]

Thank you very much

[@ThuyNguyen-bu9ge]

I got the following error message: Import Error: No module named '_winreg'

[@rrc]

_winreg has been renamed to winreg in Python 3.0. You can run the 2to3 tool if you're converting code that was written for Python 2.7. Remember that winreg is only for Windows and won't work if you are on Linux, Unix, MacOS.

[@apoorvamittal3077]

I already have python 2.7 on my PC, so I followed the steps you mentioned but when I tried executing scipy exe file, it says registry not found. What should do?

[@apm]

+apoorva mittal, was it that it couldn't find the registry or that it couldn't find Python in the registry? If it couldn't find Python (common error), make sure that the versions match between Python and Scipy. Here are some additional tips : apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/MatlabDataRegression

[@apm]

+apoorva mittal, you may also try uninstalling your current version of Python 2.7 and start with Python 3.4.

[@apoorvamittal3077]

The issue was that I had python 2.7 64-bit on my PC , so I uninstalled it and downloaded 32 bit one. It worked. Thank you for the video and for the reply.

[@lucaspedote2120]

Hello APMonitor! thank you for you video. I'm facing the same problem as apoorva, but already tried to install 2.7 (32 and 64 bit), 3.4 (both as well), but the same registry problema came up while trying to install scipy. Is there any news flash on the topic? thanks!

[@ADITYASOODBCE]

The problem which you faced with scipy , the same i am facing while installing matplotlib

[@apm]

I recommend the updated instructions at apmonitor.com/che263/index.php/Main/PythonIntroduction (see method #1)

[@ISapTout]

When i try to run the bat file i get "'cmd' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" gyazo.com/0a950d98785fc1dac9ad6eba5b1be49e [EDIT] Fixed it just needed to add -> Path = %SystemRoot%\system32 before the cmd command in the batch file.

[@karthiknaicker8216]

Thanks a lot for the video, it was very clear and it worked perfectly.
