How to install numpy+mkl for python 2.7 on windows 64 bit?

Question

I've already installed numpy 1.9.0 in Python.Now what should I do to get numpy+mkl?

Answer 1

If you do not have an entire Python distribution or you do not want to install one, you can download and install a compiled whl package from Christoph Gohlke's webpage. This whl contains numpy and is linked against mkl. When installing this package, you install both: numpy with the mkl dependencies.

All you have to do is:

• download the correct whl file (Choose the right Python version and 32/64 file)
• open a Windows cli with Windows+R and by running inside cmd
• go to the directory where you have downloaded the whl file, with cd instructions
• run pip install numpy‑1.XX.Y+mkl‑cp3X‑cp3Xm‑win_amd64.whl

For example, the command can be

pip install numpy‑1.11.3+mkl‑cp35‑cp35m‑win_amd64.whl

You can do it for any package with some code that has to be compiled

Answer 2

The easiest way is to install an entire Python distribution with lots of included packages, such as numpy and mkl. I would suggest the Anaconda Python distribution, https://www.continuum.io/downloads
