How do I install NumPy?

The numpy documentation
(http://numpy.sourceforge.net/numdoc/HTML/numdoc.htm) has a description
of how to do the install. That's the most authoritative source.
On Windows, the following procedure worked for me:
  * Go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy, and click on "Files" to
go to the download area.
  * For Windows, select one of the .zip files (I used the NumPy17_20.zip
file, but if new versions have been released, use those). The 17_ means
it is version 17.0 of numpy, and the _20 means it works with Python
version 2.0.
  * Unzip the files into your python install directory.
  * You may need to restart your python process before it finds the
libraries.
  * To test, type "import Numeric". If you get an error, it's not
installed; if it succeeds, then the install worked.
