I have been trying to install SciPy through pip with pip install scipy but it gives me the error Failed building wheel for scipy, promptly followed by Failed cleaning build dir for scipy.
I have tried upgrading pip through pip install --upgrade pip as suggested here, installing it through anaconda as suggested here as well as the solutions suggested by pip. Those solutions being:
- `git clean -xdf` (cleans all files)
- `git clean -Xdf` (cleans all versioned files, doesn't touch
files that aren't checked into the git repo)
And:
- `pip install .` (from a git repo or downloaded source
release)
- `pip install scipy` (last SciPy release on PyPI)
When I try to upgrade pip it gives:
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in c:\users\admin\appdata\local\programs\python\python36-32\lib\site-packages
When I try to install it through anaconda Windows gives: The program has stopped responding.
All help is appreciated and please feel free to leave a comment telling me is there is more information needed to help solve this issue. I am using Windows 10 as well as Python 3.6.2.
Thanks to jpmc26 in the comments for the solution:
You need to install the unofficial binary from: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy
To install it, execute: pip install C://Users/YOUR_USERNAME/Downloads/SCIPY_FILE
Make sure you use the correct version for your system (32 bit vs 64 bit) and for your Python version
You also need to look into site-packages and see if there's garbage there. If there is, delete it.
