I'm busy setting up a virtualenv for my ArcGIS 10.3.1 Python (2.7.8 64bit) Development. I've created a new virtualenv using virtualenvwrapper-win and it's installed a clean installation of Python based on the current default version installed by ArcGIS. I trying to install the ArcGIS required versions of the following packages:
When I try to install Numpy (1.7.1) and matplotlib (1.3.0) via command line using pip install, it fails as it can't find a Python Wheel for the following and only finds a zipped file that it tries to compile and fails. I don't have any experience in how to achieve the following. I tried downloading an executional installation for the following but unfortunately it doesn't give you the option to select an alternative installation directory but the default Python installation under my C Drive. Any help to solve the following will truly be appreciated.
ArcGIS 10.3.1 Python Requirements
Virtualenvwrapper-win: pip install Numpy (1.7.1)
Virtualenvwrapper-win: pip install Numpy (1.7.1) error message unable to compile
Numpy 1.7.1 Executional Installation (Unable to change Python Directory or Installation Directory)

The installer exe is executable zip file. Just extract it using 7zip or similar and copy the numpy folder and numpy-1.7.1-py2.7.egg-info (they're under the PLATLIB folder in the extracted exe) to your virtualenvs site packages folder.
Or you could copy them from your existing python installation, or even use virtualenv --system-site-packages so your virtualenv can access the already installed numpy and matplotlib.
