Look  here https   github com Rafi993 xgboost  for building xgboost on your machine  There are many different varieties of the solution above  but it seems that the version in the link above is the good one  At least that worked for me  I ve tested it on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008  Then run the following commands in cmd in order to install python bindings  cd python-package python setup py install You might also need a proper mingw  google for tdm-gcc  and the latest setuptools from anaconda    I hope it will help

I was able to install xgboost for Python in Windows yesterday by following this link  But when I tried to import using Anaconda  it failed  I recognized this is due to the fact that Anaconda has a different Python distribution  I then searched again and found this great article which made it    The trick is after installing successfully for regular Python  to have it work for Anaconda  you just need to pull up the Anaconda prompt and cd into this folder  code xgboost python-package   then run   python setup py install   And voila  The article says you need to add the path  but for me it worked directly  Good luck   Also copied below the original contents in case the link is not available        Once the last command completes the build is done   We can now install   the Python module   What follows depends on the Python distribution   you are using   For Anaconda  I will simply use the Anaconda prompt    and type the following in it  after the prompt  in my case  Anaconda3    C  Users IBM ADMIN       Anaconda3  C  Users IBM ADMIN gt cd code xgboost python-package The point is to move to the python-package directory of XGBoost   Then type   Anaconda3  C  Users IBM ADMIN code xgboost python-package gt python setup py install      We are almost done   Let s launch a notebook to test XGBoost     Importing it directly causes an error   In order to avoid it we must   add the path to the g   runtime libraries to the os environment path   variable with     import os  mingw path    C   Program Files  mingw-w64  x86 64-5 3 0-posix-seh-rt v4-rev0  mingw64  bin   os environ  PATH     mingw path         os environ  PATH        We can then import xgboost and run a small example     import xgboost as xgb  import numpy as np data   np random rand 5 10    5 entities  each contains 10 features label   np random randint 2  size 5    binary target dtrain   xgb DMatrix  data  label label   dtest   dtrain  param     bst max depth  2   bst eta  1   silent  1   objective   binary logistic    param  nthread     4 param  eval metric      auc   evallist      dtest  eval     dtrain  train     num round   10 bst   xgb train  param  dtrain  num round  evallist    bst dump model  dump raw txt        We are all set

GUYS ITS NOT THAT EASY -  PLEASE FOLLOW BELOW STEP TO GET TO MARK  So here s what I did to finish a 64-bit build on Windows   Download and install MinGW-64  sourceforge net  projects mingw-w64   On the first screen of the install prompt make sure you set the Architecture to x86 64 and the Threads to win32 I installed to C  mingw64  to avoid spaces in the file path  so I added this to my PATH environment variable  C   mingw64   mingw64   bin Please remove spaces   I also noticed that the make utility that is included in bin mingw64 is called mingw32-make so to simplify things I just renamed this to make  Open a Windows command prompt and type gcc  You should see something like  fatal error  no input file   Next type make  You should see something like  No targets specified and no makefile found   Type git  If you don t have git  install it and add it to your PATH  These should be all the tools you need to build the xgboost project  To get the source code run these lines    cd c   git clone --recursive https   github com dmlc xgboost cd xgboost git submodule init git submodule update cp make mingw64 mk config mk make -j4 Note that I ran this part from a Cygwin shell  If you are using the Windows command prompt you should be able to change cp to copy and arrive at the same result  However  if the build fails on you for any reason I would recommend trying again using cygwin    If the build finishes successfully  you should have a file called xgboost exe located in the project root  To install the Python package  do the following    cd python-package python setup py install Now you should be good to go  Open up Python  and you can import the package with  import xgboost as xgb To test the installation  I went ahead and ran the basic walkthrough py file that was included in the demo guide-python folder of the project and didn t get any errors

The easiest way  Worked for me  is to do the following  anaconda search -t conda xgboost  You will get a list of install-able features like this   for example if you want to install the first one on the list mndrake xgboost  FOR WINDOWS-64bits   conda install -c mndrake xgboost  If you re in a Unix system you can choose any other package with  quot linux-64 quot  on the right   Update on 22 10 2020   Without searching in conda list of channels  you can install it using  source  https   anaconda org anaconda py-xgboost    conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost
