Unsupported Wheel Error – Fixing ‘filename.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform’

modulenumpypippyopenglpython

I saw the same question, but it didn't work for me.

pip install PyOpenGL.3.1.1-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

I also have the same problem for NumPy:

pip install numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl

Then I get:

numpy-1.11.1+mkl-cp34-cp34m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on
this platform. Storing debug log for failure in
C://Users/myUsername/pip/pip.log

I'm using 64-bit and Python 3.4.0. What is wrong?

Best Answer

  1. Check the supported tags for wheel version for your system(platform).
  2. To check supported tag run the following command pip debug --verbose
  3. When you run the command, you will get many lists, along with supported tags, download compatible wheel file from supported tags.
  4. install wheel file using this command pip install pycurl-7.43.0.4-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl

Supported tags portion looks like:
