Local install instructions

The course uses Python 3 and some data analysis packages such as Numpy, Pandas, scikit-learn, and matplotlib.

Install Miniconda

This step is only necessary if you don't have conda installed already:

• download the Miniconda installer for your operating system (Windows, MacOSX or Linux) here
• run the installer following the instructions here depending on your operating system.

Create conda environment

# Clone this repo
git clone https://github.com/INRIA/scikit-learn-mooc
cd scikit-learn-mooc
# Create a conda environment with the required packages for this tutorial:
conda env create -f environment.yml

Check your install

To make sure you have all the necessary packages installed, we strongly recommend you to execute the check_env.py script located at the root of this repository:

# Activate your conda environment
conda activate scikit-learn-course
python check_env.py

Make sure that there is no FAIL in the output when running the check_env.py script, i.e. that its output looks similar to this:
