title: Installing NumPy using Pip on Windows
body: <p>I downloaded Python 3.6.1 and it came with Pip preinstalled. I wrote this command to install numpy  </p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Python36-32&gt;python -m pip install numpy  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To which I got this as the output:  </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Collecting numpy   Could not fetch URL
    <a href="https://pypi.python.org/simple/numpy/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://pypi.python.org/simple/numpy/</a>: There was a problem confirming
    the ssl certificate: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate
    verify failed (_ssl.c:749) - skipping   Could not find a version that
    satisfies the requirement numpy (from versions: ) No matching
    distribution found for numpy  </p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>How do I solve this?<br>
  PS: I did this on Windows 10, Command Prompt running as administrator.</p>
