Last night I tried installing Numpy on Windows 8. I have Python 2.7.10 installed on my Windows 8.1 Pro machine. Initially I realized that the only way to easily install Numpy is to install the 1.3 version[1] , which is pretty old. Then I found out that pip can install Numpy, but since my OS is a 64-bit one I cannot use pip directly and have to first deal with Cython, Fortran and other stuffs' installation [2]. In the end I followed the instruction given in [3] and [4] but the error that I get is non of the errors described in [3]. I may mention that I upgraded "wheel" to the latest version before downloading the unofficial, compiled Numpy file downloaded from [5]. The error message that I get is as follows:

numpy-1.9.2+mkl-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Could you please help me how I can resolve this issue?

Thank you

Something similar happened to me, the point is that even the system be 64-bit, install the 32-bit version, the installation will occur usually when I did that worked with matplotlib and numpy.
