title: Installing NumPy on Fedora 24 with pip
body: <p>My question is perhaps similar to <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19050386/installing-numpy-on-fedora-19-with-pip">Installing Numpy on Fedora 19 with pip</a>.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to install NumPy with <code>pip</code> on (a freshly installed) Fedora 24. </p>
  
  <p>Fedora already has <code>pip</code> (via the command pip3). When I write <code>pip3 install numpy</code>, pip downloads a zip (with the source code inside) and tries to compile (build a local wheel). But I do not have Python headers so it can't compile. I guess that if I install python3-devel pip will manage to compile NumPy as I already have GCC (but no linear algebra library).</p>
  
  <p>But what I want to do is to install NumPy from a wheel only. Normally if a wheel is available on PyPI, then pip will download the corresponding wheel file. It is so on other distributions: Arch, Ubuntu. I installed the package <code>python3-wheel</code> also, but it didn't have any effect.</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody make the situation clearer?</p>
