How to fix error when installing numpy in pypy with pip?

Question

I am trying to set up a pypy Interpreter in my PyCharm IDE. I am using Windows 10 version 10.0.18363 Build 18363 on a x64 based machine.

I downloaded PyPy 3.6 v7.3.1 on the pypy site ( https://www.pypy.org/download.html ) in .zip format. I unzipped it in a new folder on my dektop. I got a folder with the name "pypy3.6-v7.3.1-win32" In this folder there are a few folders and 2 exe "pypy3" and "pypy3w". I tried to follow this instruction https://doc.pypy.org/en/latest/install.html

In my cmd I went to the directory (desktop\\pypy3.6-v7.3.1-win32) and used pypy3 -m ensurepip

pypy3 -mpip install -U pip wheel
pypy3 -mpip install numpy

It didnt work. I tried updating setuptools, didnt help either.

This is the error I am getting.

I also installed the newest version of Visual C++ 14.x

I tried installing numpy directly through the IDE. I tried installing other packages some worked (MathLab) others didnt (VTK), but with a different error.

DEPRECATION: The -b/--build/--build-dir/--build-directory option is deprecated. pip 20.3 will remove support for this functionality. A possible replacement is use the TMPDIR/TEMP/TMP environment variable, possibly combined with --no-clean. You can find discussion regarding this at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8333.
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement vtk (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for vtk

On my system there are 2 other Python Interpreters installed Miniconda 3.7 and standard python 3.8. If I try to uninstall numpy in the other python interpreters I get the error:

Collecting package metadata (repodata.json): ...working... done
Solving environment: ...working... failed


PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are missing from the target environment:
  - numpy

I am a beginner with Python and I have no clue what to do next except uninstalling every python related thing on my computer and reinstall everything again, but I'd like to avoid that right now.

Do you have any idea how to install numpy? Any solution how to fix my system or set it up correctly if I did anything wrong would be much appreciated. Thank you very much in advance.

As Armin rodrigo suggested the newest version did the trick. mail.python.org/pipermail/pypy-dev/2020-September/016023.html Numpy works right now.
