I need to install Numpy on my Mac OS X Lion 10.7. I googled a little bit, it seems like there are a lot of stuff needs to be installed. And some says I need install Xcode before I install Numpy. But the official website of Numpy doesn’t give much information about installing Numpy on Mac. I really don’t want to install Xcode as it would cost a lot space.
So anyone knows how to install Numpy? What’s the prerequisites?
Thanks,
Generally, unless you have a good reason you might want to avoid trying to have to build numpy/scipy et al. yourself.
For Mac’s there are two nice everything-included packages for numerical python. Enthough distribution (paid, http://www.enthought.com/) and Sagemath (free, http://www.sagemath.org/). I’m happily using Sagemath on 10.7 – it has numpy, scipy etc.
