+NumPy is a replacement of Numeric Python that adds the features of numarray.
+To install system-wide on Unix-like systems:
+
+sudo python setup.py install
+
+or (for system without sudo):
+
+su -c python setup.py install
+
+On windows, it is advised to use the official binaries.
+
+The setup.py script will take advantage of fast BLAS on your system if it can
+find it. You can guide the process using a site.cfg file.
+
+If fast BLAS and LAPACK cannot be found, then a slower default version is used.
+
+After installation, tests can be run (from outside the source
+directory) with:
+
+python -c 'import numpy; numpy.test()'
+
+Please note that you must have version 0.10 or later of the 'nose' test
+framework installed in order to run the tests. More information about nose is
+available here:
+
+http://somethingaboutorange.com/mrl/projects/nose/
+
+The most current development version of NumPy is always available from our
+subversion repository:
