ubuntu 14.04 how to upgrade to scipy 14.0 from 13.3

I have a blank ubuntu server 14.04 with python 2.7.6 and numpy 1.8.2.

The scipy version is 13.3.

How do I correctly install or upgrade to scipy 14.0? Without breaking the system? I tried sudo pip install --upgrade scipy but it produces errors.

Can I use a package manager? - Not very familiar with Linux.

Thank you

Answer 1

To install with pip, you'll need to install the build dependencies first with

sudo apt-get build-dep python-scipy

Similarly, if you're going to install matplotlib you'll need sudo apt-get build-dep python-matplotlib before installing with pip.

If you check the error when you pip install scipy, you'll see there's missing header files (".h" files). That's a hint about needing build dependencies.
