python 2.7安装xgboost

I think it works for normal python, too.

If you use python 3.5:

1: download the package , the version depends on your python version, python3.5 or python 3.6, 32bit or 64bit.

2: use the command window, use cd to make the download folder as your pwd, then use

pip install filename.whl

OK, finished. For more detailed steps, see

if you use python 2.7, you do NOT need to download the VS2013 to build it yourself, because I have built it, you can download the file I built and install it directly

1: Download it

2: Download it, decompress it, paste it here:

“your python path\Lib\site-packages”

Then you should have something look like this:

3: In python-package folder showed above, use cmd window, cd there and run

python setup.py install 

use this code

 import xgboost 

in your python to check whether you have installed mingw-64 or not, No error information means you have installed the mingw-64 and you are finished.

If there are error information

“WindowsError: [Error 126] "

That means you have not installed mingw-64, and you have one more step to go.

Download the mingw-64 here:

Choose x86_64 instead of the default “i686” when you installed the mingw-64, then add “your install path\x86_64-6.2.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1\mingw64\bin;” to your PATH, it should be something like this:

“C:\Program Files\mingw-w64\x86_64-6.2.0-posix-seh-rt_v5-rev1\mingw64\bin;”

(this is mine).

Don’t forget the “;” in the PATH.

Then you are finished,you can use

import xgboost 

in your python to check that, Yeah!
