Click on the Next button if Python is found otherwise, click on the Cancel button and install Python (NumPy cannot be installed without Python).If it is not detected, maybe your path settings are wrong. Click on the Next button.If you have Python installed, it should automatically be detected. Now, we can see a description of NumPy and its features.Open the EXE installer by double-clicking on it.In this example, we chose numpy-1.8.1-win32-superpack-python2.7.exe. The latest release versions may change, so just choose the one that fits your setup best. Download installers for Windows from the SourceForge website (refer to the following table).

The steps to install the other libraries are similar. We will give steps to install NumPy here. You only need to download an installer, and a wizard will guide you through the installation steps. Installing on Windows is, fortunately, a straightforward task that we will cover in detail. After that, we will have to switch to Python 3. Python 2.7 will be supported and maintained until 2020. Python 2.7.x is currently the best Python version to have because most Scientific Python libraries support it. You need to have Python 2.4.x or above installed on your system. There are also source distributions, if you prefer that. The software we will install has binary installers for Windows, various Linux distributions, and Mac OS X. On this website, we can find installers for Windows and Mac OS X, as well as source archives for Linux, Unix, and Mac OS X. There are many implementations of Python, including commercial implementations and distributions. You, however, need to check whether the Python version is compatible with the software version you want to install. On some operating systems, Python is already installed. The software used in this article is based on Python, so it is required to have Python installed.

The most notable part of this project is the IPython shell. IPython provides an architecture for interactive computing. Matplotlib is a plotting library based on NumPy. NumPy and SciPy, historically shared their codebase but were later separated. SciPy is a scientific Python library, which supplements and slightly overlaps NumPy.
