- Redoubts 9y agoWhat’s wrong with anaconda? It’s a good distribution for the science stack.
- ZenoArrow 9y agoI've pretty much given up on pip/pip-env on Windows. Anaconda has given me zero problems (even outside of scientific computing) and does everything that I wanted pip/pip-env to do, so I see no reason to switch back.
- jonnycomputer 9y agoEven on *nix, anaconda is a godsend for those who don't have sudo and have to install everything in their home directories, without spending a godawful amount of time digging themselves out of dependency hell.
- akx 9y ago`pip install --user` has been working nicely for a while.
- taeric 9y agoThat only works for the python side of things, right?
- jonnycomputer 9y agothat's a good point, because conda isn't just python.
- jonnycomputer 9y agosure. if you have pip.
- akx 9y ago`python get-pip.py --user`, then... (via https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#id4 https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/installing/#id4)

- jonnycomputer 9y agoif only that had worked.
- repsilat 9y agoMaybe I'm new, but I've not had problems with `venv/bin/pip install` either.
- wirrbel 9y agoI used pip & virtualenv on linux constantly. On my new windows laptop, anaconda is preinstalled, so I thought I'd just use that, since I heard from everywhere that it was so good. I ran into issues with it requiring admin privileges or other windows permission issues. I am no using python 3.6 (which comes with anaconda) create a venv with `python -m venv venv` and I couldn't be happier. Numpy and scipy wheels seem to work (although I needed an `--only-binary scipy` flag added, or something of the like).
