Answer 1

install numpy

pip install numpy

If you face installation issues for numpy, get the pre-built windows installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for your python version (python version is different from windows version).

numpy 32-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

numpy 64-bit: numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

Later you require VC++ 9.0, then please get it from below link Microsoft Visual C++ 9.0 is required. Get it from http://aka.ms/vcpython27

Then install

Get the pre-built windows installers from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ for your python version (python version is different from windows version).

Scipy 32-bit: scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win32.whl

Scipy 64-bit: scipy-0.18.0-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

If it fails saying whl is not supported wheel on this platform , then upgrade pip using python -m pip install --upgrade pip and try installing scipy

Now try

pip install scipy

Then try

pip install statsmodels

It should work like a charm

Answer 2

I have tried to write this on cmd.exe and it worked.

pip install statsmodels==0.6.0

install statsmodels for python 2.7 in windows

Answer 3

An easier way to install python libraries on Windows with C/C++/Fortran/... dependencies is to use conda . conda is available in MiniConda or Anaconda continuum products.

Another easy way to install scientific python libraries on windows is to use Christoph Gohlke's windows web page .

If you have no much idea about all of them and how to manage dependencies on windows I recommend you uninstalling your Python and installing anaconda. Anaconda already has Numpy, Scipy, Matplotlib,..., and statsmodels pre-installed (see the list of the packages included in the anaconda distribution) .

Answer 4

Make sure you are using the latest version of pip To check which version you are using try:

pip --version

To install statsmodels you can either go to cmd.exe or if you are using python pycharm use "Terminal Window" and type:

pip install statsmodels==0.9.0
