How to install python-numpy on OSX using apt-get?

Question

so I have tried installing numpy using Homebrew . While it said on home-brew that I successfully installed it, the program I run couldn't detect it and it recommend using apt-get . So I got apt-get through fink, but I couldn't install numpy like I wanted to. The most relevant answer I found online is here: http://mrprajesh.blogspot.hk/2009/11/e-couldnt-find-package-on-apt-get.html But it only covers linux and I am not sure how to do the same on an OSX machine. Does anyone has experience with this?

Below is the error message. Any help is appreciated.

In my opinion the best way to installing numpy and scipy, is just download Anaconda, even though its large, things are compiled and just work. If you need a smaller package then get miniconda, and run "conda install numpy". If you don't care for space, just get anaconda.
