Installing Scikit-learn on Ubuntu 14.04

While trying to install scikit-learn, i kept getting the error

numpy.distutils.system_info.NotFoundError: no lapack/blas resources found

Doing the following apt-get before the pip resolved this (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11114225/installing-scipy-and-numpy-using-pip)

$ sudo apt-get install libblas-dev liblapack-dev libatlas-base-dev gfortran
$ pip install scikit-learn
