Difficulties installing packages with Package Manager

[Jeff]

With the next quarterly release of Vizard 5.2 you'll be able to install numpy directly from the package manager for both Vizard 32 and 64 bit. Below are instructions you can use before that's released.

There is no official Python 64 bit binary installer for numpy so download from the unofficial binaries page that performlabrit mentioned.

1) Go to:

http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

and search for 'numpy‑1.9.2+mkl‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl'. This is the installer for Python 2.7 64 bit. Download this.

2) Close Vizard if it's open. Right click on the Vizard icon and select 'Run as administrator'.

3) Open up Windows explorer and browse to the 'Vizard5/bin/Scripts' folder in the Vizard installation. Copy the installer into that folder.

4) In the same folder is a script called 'pip-script.py'. Open this script in the Vizard editor.

5) In Vizard go to View > Toolbars and enable 'Run arguments'. In the run arguments toolbar type 'install numpy‑1.9.2+mkl‑cp27‑none‑win_amd64.whl'

6) Run 'pip-script.py' and it will install.
