Installing Scikit-Learn with pip

See the full installation instructions for more details; these are provided for convenience only.

Scikit-Learn requires:

Once you have installed pip (the python package manager):

This should be super easy:

pip install -U numpy scipy scikit-learn

Now just wait! Also, you have no excuse not to do this in a virtualenv.

Install numpy and scipy with their official installers. You can then use PyPi to install scikit-learn:

pip install -U scikit-learn

If you're having trouble, consider one of the unofficial windows installers or anacondas (see the Scikit-Learn page for more).

Unfortunately there are no official binary packages for Linux. First install the build dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev python-setuptools \
    python-numpy python-scipy \
    libatlas-dev libatlas3gf-base

Then you can build (hopefully) Scikit-learn with pip:

pip install --user --install-option="--prefix=" -U scikit-learn

Keep in mind however, that there are other dependencies and might be issues with ATLAS and BLAS - see the official installation for more.
