Installing Numpy on 64bit Windows 8.1 with Python 2.7

I am trying to install Numpy on Python 2.7 and I am using Windows 8.1. When I run Numpy from this link it says, "Python 2.7 required, which was not found in the registry ". How can resolve this issue, I already installed Python 2.7?

I changed to anaconda a while ago and in my mind its the best and most dynamic package manager for all platforms. http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install.html

You can first install wheel using pip.

pip install wheel

Then download the .whl file for Numpy from Chris Gohlke's page.

Then go to the directory where you downloaded the package.whl file in cmd and do the following

pip install package_you_downloaded.whl

I experienced a similar broken toolchain error while installing Numpy. You can check it here.

For Windows, you should check out Chris Gohlke's page: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs

He has some Numpy builds there for Python 2.7.
