Third party distributions of scikit-learn¶

Some third-party distributions are now providing versions of scikit-learn integrated with their package-management systems. The most popular ones are listed on the Installation page.

These can make installation and upgrading much easier for users since the integration includes the ability to automatically install dependencies (numpy, scipy) that scikit-learn requires.

The following is an incomplete list of python and os distributions that provide their own version of scikit-learn.

MacPorts for Mac OSX¶

The MacPorts package is named py<XY>-scikits-learn, where XY denotes the Python version. It can be installed by typing the following command:

sudo port install py27-scikit-learn

or:

sudo port install py36-scikit-learn

Arch Linux¶

Arch Linux’s package is provided through the official repositories as python-scikit-learn for Python 3 and python2-scikit-learn for Python 2. It can be installed by typing the following command:

# pacman -S python-scikit-learn

or:

# pacman -S python2-scikit-learn

depending on the version of Python you use.

NetBSD¶

scikit-learn is available via pkgsrc-wip:

Fedora¶

The Fedora package is called python-scikit-learn for the Python 2 version and python3-scikit-learn for the Python 3 version. Both versions can be installed using yum:

$ sudo yum install python-scikit-learn

or:

$ sudo yum install python3-scikit-learn
