Time for action – installing NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, and IPython with MacPorts or Fink

Alternatively, we can install NumPy, SciPy, matplotlib, and IPython through the MacPorts route or with Fink. The following installation steps show how to install all these packages:

  • Installing with MacPorts: Type the following command:
    $ [sudo] port install py-numpy py-scipy py-matplotlib py-ipython
  • Installing with Fink: Fink also has packages for NumPy—scipy-core-py24, scipy-core-py25, and scipy-core-py26. The SciPy packages are scipy-py24, scipy-py25 and scipy-py26. We can install NumPy and the additional recommended packages, referring to this book on Python 2.7, using the following command:
    $ fink install scipy-core-py27 scipy-py27 matplotlib-py27

What just happened?

We installed NumPy and the additional recommended software on Mac OS X with MacPorts and Fink.
