[Solved] pip Install Error: is not a supported wheel on this platform

Possible reason 1: The installed library is not the corresponding python version. In the downloaded library name, cp27 represents python2.7, and the same is true for others.

Possible reason 2: This is the situation I encountered (downloaded the corresponding version of the library, and then still prompted that the current platform is not supported)

The filename of the numpy library I downloaded:

Install with pip (on the command line):

Error: *** is not a supported wheel on this platform, the problem was successfully solved by a post on stackoverflow.

Method: Enter import pip in the shell; print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported()) can get the file name and version supported by pip, here I am as follows:

>>import pip; print(pip.pep425tags.get_supported())[('cp27', 'none', 'win32'), ('py2', 'none', 'win32'), ('cp27', 'none', 'any'), ('cp2', 'none', 'any'), ('cp26', 'none', 'any'), ('cp25', 'none', 'any'), ('cp24', 'none', 'any'), ('cp23', 'none', 'any'), ('cp22', 'none', 'any'), ('cp21', 'none', 'any'), ('cp20', 'none', 'any'), ('py27', 'none', 'any'), ('py2', 'none', 'any'), ('py26', 'none', 'any'), ('py25', 'none', 'any'), ('py24', 'none', 'any'), ('py23', 'none', 'any'), ('py22', 'none', 'any'), ('py21', 'none', 'any'), ('py20', 'none', 'any')]

It can be found here that the file name format downloaded above is not supported, and it can be successfully installed by modifying it to: numpy-1.10.4+mkl-cp27-none-win32.whl.

Other libraries can also be successfully installed in the same way, but please also pay attention to the dependencies of the library.
