Download latest version for your OS from  http://sourceforge.net/projects/mlpy/files/

Installing on \*nix from source
-------------------------------

On GNU/Linux, OSX and FreeBSD you need the following requirements:

   * GCC
   * Python >= 2.6 or 3.X
   * NumPy >= 1.3.0 (with header files)
   * SciPy >= 0.7.0
   * GSL >= 1.11 (with header files)

From a terminal run:

.. code-block:: sh

   $ python setup.py install

If you don't have root access, installing mlpy in a directory by
specifying the ``--prefix`` argument. Then you need to set ``PYTHONPATH``:

.. code-block:: sh

   $ python setup.py install --prefix=/path/to/modules
   $ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/modules/lib/python{version}/site-packages

If the GSL header files or shared library are in non-standard
locations on your system, use the ``--include-dirs`` and 
``--rpath`` options to ``build_ext``:

.. code-block:: sh

    $ python setup.py build_ext --include-dirs=/path/to/header --rpath=/path/to/lib
    $ python setup.py install


Installing on Windows Xp/Vista/7 from binary installer
------------------------------------------------------

Requirements:

   * Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.1, 3.2 Windows installer (x86)
   * NumPy >= 1.3.0 win32 installer
   * SciPy >= 0.8.0 win32 installer

The GSL library is pre-compiled (by Visual Studio Express 2008) and included in mlpy.

Download and run the mlpy Windows installer (.exe).
