How to install xgboost in Python

In machine learning, there are some algorithms to help you predict the label of an object based on the available dataset. Each of them also has its own benefit in different cases. And xgboost is one of the algorithms in machine learning. In this article, we will show you how to install xgboost in Python in some ways.

Let’s learn more about it with the explanation and examples below.

Install Xgboost In Python

Xgboost is an algorithm in machine learning that has good performance, so you can save time when using this function to predict an attribute of an object. Let’s learn how to install it in Python with different environments.

Install the xgboost module in Python 2

For Python version 2 and the virtual environments, you can install the xgboost module by running the following statement.

pip install xgboost

If you encounter some Errors when installing this module, you may not assign pip in the computer’s environment. So, you should run again with the following statement.

python -m pip install xgboost

Install the xgboost module in Python 3

For Python version 3 or newer, you can install the xgboost module by running the following statement.

pip3 install xgboost

If you encounter some Errors when installing this module, you may not assign pip in the computer’s environment. So, you should run again with the following statement.

python3 -m pip install xgboost

Install the xgboost module in Windows OS

Besides the previous solutions, you can also run this command to install the xgboost module in Windows OS.

py -m pip install xgboost

Install the xgboost module in MacOS and Linux

You can install the xgboost module in MacOs and Linux by doing the same as the two first solutions. But if you encounter some Errors when installing it. You can try again with the following statement.

With Python version 2:

sudo pip install xgboost

With Python version 3 or newer:

sudo pip3 install xgboost

Install the xgboost module in Anaconda

You can run this command to install the xgboost module in Anaconda.

conda install -c conda-forge xgboost

Install the xgboost module in the Jupyter Notebook or Google Colaboratory

You can run this command to install the xgboost module in the Jupyter Notebook or Google Colaboratory.

!pip install djangorestframework

Check if the xgboost module is installed successfully

You can run the following statement in Python to check if the xgboost module is installed successfully or not.

import xgboost

# Check the xgboost module version.
print('Version: ' + str(xgboost.__version__))

Output

Version: 1.7.2
