Installing automatminer with Windows with Anaconda

[Emily]

Hi, 

This is a very similar question to one already posted but basically getting xgboost in windows with anaconda is quite difficult. Anaconda for windows currently only supports py-xgboost:

https://anaconda.org/anaconda/py-xgboost

or I can hack getting xgboost on my computer in windows but only version 82:

Is it hard to add support for either of these two packages instead of xgboost 72.1? Or are there any workarounds I can try?

Thanks so much!

I just went into the requirements.txt and changed the version of xgboost to 0.80 (I guess version 82 installs as 80) and the rest of the install went fine - I successfully imported automatminer into a script. I probably haven't used the part that calls xgboost yet so I'll let you know if it seems like that was a problem!

Thank you!

Hey Emily,

Thank you for reporting this bug. I will add a todo to update the xgboost version to 0.80 to help our Windows-based users out for upcoming releases. 

Thanks,

Alex
