Install NumPy for Python 3.5

Question

I am using python 3.5 and I am trying to install NumPy but when I try to install from command prompt using command: pip install numpy

I get a whole lot of errors. The main error though seems to be at the end: error: Unable to find vcvarsall.bat

I have also tried downloading the numpy binaries from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#numpy and installing using command: pip install numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

But I get an error that says: numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Then I found a numpy-1.10.2-win32-superpack-python3.4.exe file here https://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/1.10.2/ but when I try to run that I get an error that I require Python version 3.4.

I looked and cannot find an installer for python 3.5.exe, do I need to uninstall python 3.5 and install 3.4 instead? Or is there anyway to install numpy for Python 3.5?

I am using Windows 10/64 bit.

An easy way to obtain numpy, scipy, pandas, ... is to install anaconda. Anaconda will automatically download and install the latest modules. https://www.continuum.io/downloads

I hope this will help you along.
