Install numpy from wheel format on windows (not supported wheel on this platform).

Question

Installing numpy from the wheel format: "... does not support the wheel on this platform"

I know that this question was asked before, but none of the proposed solutions solved my problem.

First, like everyone else, I went to http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#jpype and downloaded numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl , so like my windows 10 - 64 bit and my python 2.7.

Then I set the path to the cd Desktop file and then type pip install numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl .

In return, I get numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Then I wanted to make sure that I was running the correct whl file. So, I typed python in the terminal window to check the version and something else, and received the following Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 message Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 20:32:19) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win32

I am puzzled that it says win32 when I have Windows 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

In any case, I tried "numpy-1.10.4 + mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl", but to no avail.

Answer 1

Update your pip

python -m pip install --upprade pip

and try installing with pip

pip install numpy-1.10.4 + mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

Answer 2

me too. same problem. I am trying to change the whl file name.

NumPy-1.10.4 + cp27-MKL-cp27m-win_amd64.whl -> NumPy-1.10.4 + cp27-MKL-no-win_amd64.whl

Answer 3

I also had a problem with Windows 10 - 64 bit. I downloaded "numpy-1.10.4 + mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl" and then renamed it to "numpy-1.10.4 + mkl-cp27-none-win32.whl" and installed using pip. It works for me.

Answer 4

I had this problem several times on my Windows 10 64-bit platform with python 2.7 - I try to install win_amd64.whl and get the same error:

 numpy-1.12.0b1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. rasterio-1.0a3-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform. 

If I rename win32.whl, the installation works fine.

Answer 5

You can install the 32-bit version of python, regardless of the 32/64-bit system. Try downloading and installing with pip install numpy-1.10.4 + mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl or numpy-1.10.4 + vanilla-cp27-none-win32.whl Maybe it will work later.
