I would like to run a programme that someone else has prepared and it includes scipy. I have tried to install scipy with
pip install scipy
but it gives me a long error. I know there are ways with Anaconda and Canopy but I think these are long ways. I would like to have a short way. I have also tried
G:\determinator_Oskar>pip install scipy

Why does a scipy get so complicated ?
Using conda install scipy instead of pip solved the problem for me!
Either use SciPy whl, download the appropriate one and run pip install <whl_file>
OR
Read through SciPy Windows issue and run one of the methods.
OR
Use Miniconda.
Additionally, install Visual C++ compiler for python2.7 in-case it asks for it.
pip install Cython
before
pip install sklearn
did the trick for me.
For completeness, though this probably would not work well given your particular setup (external program + Windows), one can also acquire Scipy hassle-free as part of the (large) SageMath download.
For Debian Jessie and Stretch installing the following packages resolves the issue:
sudo apt install libblas3 liblapack3 liblapack-dev libblas-dev
Your next issue is very likely going to be a missing Fortran compiler, resolve this by installing it like this:
sudo apt install gfortran
If you want an optimized scipy, you can also install the optional libatlas-base-dev package:
sudo apt install libatlas-base-dev
If you have any issue with a missing Python.h file like this:
Python.h: No such file or directory
Then have a look at this post: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21530768/209532
I got this problem on freeBSD. It seems lapack packages are missing, I solved it installing them (as root) with:
pkg install lapack
pkg install atlas-devel #not sure this is needed, but just in case
I imagine it could work on other system too using the appropriate package installer (e.g. apt-get)
"Why does a scipy get so complicated?
It gets so complicated because Python's package management system is built to track Python package dependencies, and SciPy and other scientific tools have dependencies beyond Python. Wheels fix part of the problem, but my experience is that tools like pip/virtualenv are just not sufficient for installing and managing a scientific Python stack.
If you want an easy way to get up and running with SciPy, I would highly suggest the Anaconda distribution. It will give you everything you need for scientific computing in Python.
If you want a "short way" of doing this (I'm interpreting that as "I don't want to install a huge distribution"), you might try miniconda and then run conda install scipy.
Always for Ubuntu/Debian, chjortlund's answer it's very good but not perfect, since this way you get an unoptimized BLAS library. You have simply to do:
sudo apt install libatlas-base-dev
and voila'!
For windows: Best is to use pre-compiled package available from this site: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/%7Egohlke/pythonlibs/#scipy
