Installation

Prerequisites

Improse requires:

• Python (>= 2.6 or >= 3.3)
• NumPy (>= 1.6.1): http://www.numpy.org/
• SciPy (>= 0.9): http://www.scipy.org/
• Scikit-learn (>= 0.17): http://scikit-learn.org/
• Pandas (>= 0.16.2): http://pandas.pydata.org/

If you already have a working installation of numpy and scipy, the easiest way to install scikit-learn and pandas is using pip:

pip install -U scikit-learn

pip install -U pandas

or using conda:

conda install scikit-learn

conda install pandas

If you don’t already have a python installation with numpy, scipy and pandas, we recommend to install either via your package manager or via a python bundles (Canopy, Anaconda). These come with numpy, scipy, scikit-learn, pandas and many other helpful scientific and data processing libraries and available for platforms including Windows, Mac OSX and Linux.
