python32bitxgboost_package - Install xgboost under python with 32-bit msys failing
Trying to install xgboost is failing..? The version is Anaconda 2.1.0 (64-bit) on Windows & enterprise. How do I proceed? I have been using R it seems its quite easy to install new package in R from RStudio, but not so in spyder as I need to go to a command-window to do it and then in this case it fails..
import sys
print (sys.version)

I'm a bit late to answer but I would still go ahead and answer it for anyone who still has an issue with the installation. I followed the steps listed in https://www.kaggle.com/c/otto-group-product-classification-challenge/forums/t/13043/run-xgboost-from-windows-and-python Their is a concise version of these steps at https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/tree/master/windows. I will summarize what I did below.
1) Download Visual Basic Studio. You can download the community edition at visual studio website. There is a "free visual studio button on the upper right corner"
2) Copy all content from the git hub repository of xgboost/tree/master/windows and Open Visual studio existing project on Visual studio
3) There are a couple of drop down menus you need to select ( "Release" and "X64" and then select build --> build all from the upper menu. It should look something like the attached screenshot.
4) if you see the message ========== Build: 3 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========, it is all good
5) Browse to python-packages folder where the setup file for XGB resides and run the install command 'python setup.py install'.
Hope this helps.

Falconic 43 9 Do you mind mentioning why my post is down voted? –
Falconic Jan 20 '16 at 0:02 Generally, link only answers are frowned upon. It's better to summarise the content from the link in case the links dies of it's content changes. –
Steve Jan 20 '16 at 0:09 Thanks for explaining. I would update my answer. –

This is an xgboost issue, not an Anaconda issue as you originally tagged (I don't use Anaconda but I got this too).rect and try again. then I skip step1 and did step 2 directly, another error appear: Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 19, in LIB_PATH = libpath['find_lib_path']() File "xgboost/libpath.py", line 44,
EDIT: from your updates, your breakage is caused by 32-bit msys somewhere on your path, whereas you have a 64-bit install of Python. Mine and all other people's reported breakage since Aug 25 was the 0.4a12/3 prereleases:
ORIGINAL ANSWER - Based on the limited information you provided (here, as opposed to on the Kaggle thread) and no verbose fail logs: Apparently the latest versions of xgboost on pypi, 0.4a12 and 0.4a13 are both pre-releases, which pip will not use by default, unless you do pip install --pre xgboost.
I found this all out by digging around with pip install -v xgboost, which shows helpful verbose information on why an attempted install failed (below); then use pip help and pip install -h to see all install options:
pip install -v xgboost Downloading/unpacking xgboost Ignoring link
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/x/xgboost/xgboost-0.4a12.tar.gz#md5=4d768e034a28590497bb79279f036946
(from https://pypi.python.org/simple/xgboost/), version 0.4a12 is a
pre-release (use --pre to allow). Ignoring link
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/x/xgboost/xgboost-0.4a13.tar.gz#md5=5f53d51e4305c679192b3cabda2b0dbe
(from https://pypi.python.org/simple/xgboost/), version 0.4a13 is a
pre-release (use --pre to allow).
Then pip install -h tells you:
Install Options:
-e, --editable Install a project in editable mode ...
...
--pre Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.
And finally:
pip install --pre xgboost
(PS xgboost maintainers made a recent change in Aug 2015)

smci 9,151 5 44 83 I use pip install --pre xgboost but still no luck and I am getting error similar to this thread.
kaggle.com/c/… –
kayama Aug 31 '15 at 21:20 I was saying do
pip install -v xgboost to see the verbose reason for failure, then post it as part of your question. Knowing the exact reason for failure should solve/help solve your issue. –
smci Aug 31 '15 at 23:14 Thanks for the response. Heres the screen dump for using pip install -v xgboost –
kayama Sep 1 '15 at 16:42 The screen dump is too big to add in the comment box...? However, I follow the instruction on the below link and build the package on the window box and it works !!!
kaggle.com/c/… –
kayama Sep 1 '15 at 17:15 Ok so the root-cause issue is your copy of MinGW/msys was 32-bit not 64-bit. However that thread is still unclear as to the
solution. Please spell out the solution and post it here as answer to your own question. –
