Installation

Before you install

Installation from PyPI using precompiled binaries

pip install gpboost -U

Requirements

  • For Windows users, VC runtime is needed if Visual Studio (2015 or newer) is not installed.

  • For Linux users, glibc >= 2.14 is required.

    • If you get an error message version `GLIBC_2.27' not found, you need to install from source.

    • In rare cases, when you get the OSError: libgomp.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory error when importing GPBoost, you need to install the OpenMP runtime library separately (use your package manager and search for lib[g|i]omp for doing this).

  • For macOS users:

    • The library file in distribution wheels is built by the Apple Clang compiler. You need to install the OpenMP library. You can install the OpenMP library by the following command: brew install libomp.

    • If you have an arm64 Apple silicon processor (e.g., M1 or M2) and experience problems, try the following steps:

      • uninstall homebrew (in case you have migrated from an older non-arm64 Mac)
      • install homebrew (to make sure that you have an arm64 version of libomp)
      • install OpenMP (brew install libomp)
      • remove existing python environments and install Miniforge (brew install miniforge and conda init "$(basename "${SHELL}")")

Installation from source

Installation from source can be either done from PyPI or GitHub.

Requirements for installation from source

  • Installation from source requires that you have installed CMake.

  • For Linux users, glibc >= 2.14 is required.

    • In rare cases, you may need to install the OpenMP runtime library separately (use your package manager and search for lib[g|i]omp for doing this).

  • For macOS users, you can perform installation either with Apple Clang or gcc.

    • In case you prefer Apple Clang, you should install OpenMP (details for installation can be found in the Installation Guide) first and CMake version 3.16 or higher is required. Only Apple Clang version 8.1 or higher is supported.

    • In case you prefer gcc, you need to install it (details for installation can be found in the Installation Guide) and specify compilers by running export CXX=g++-7 CC=gcc-7 (replace "7" with the version of gcc installed on your machine) first.

  • For Windows users, Visual Studio (or VS Build Tools) is needed.

Installation from source from PyPI

pip install --no-binary :all: gpboost
Build with MinGW-w64 on Windows
pip install gpboost --install-option=--mingw
Build 32-bit version with 32-bit Python
pip install gpboost --install-option=--bit32

By default, installation in an environment with 32-bit Python is prohibited. However, you can remove this prohibition on your own risk by passing the bit32 option (not recommended).

Installation from source from GitHub

git clone --recursive https://github.com/fabsig/GPBoost.git
cd GPBoost/python-package
# export CXX=g++-7 CC=gcc-7  # macOS users, if you decided to compile with gcc, don't forget to specify compilers (replace "7" with version of gcc installed on your machine)
python setup.py install

Note: sudo (or administrator rights in Windows) may be needed to perform the command.

Build with MinGW-w64 on Windows
python setup.py install --mingw

If you get any errors during installation or due to any other reasons, you may want to build a dynamic library from source by any method you prefer and then just run python setup.py install --precompile.
