    Trying to install xgboost is failing..? The version is Anaconda 2.1.0 (64-bit) on Windows & enterprise. How do I proceed? I have been using R it seems its quite easy to install new package in R from RStudio, but not so in spyder as I need to go to a command-window to do it and then in this case it fails..

    I'm a bit late to answer but I would still go ahead and answer it for anyone who still has an issue with the installation. I followed the steps listed in https://www.kaggle.com/c/otto-group-product-classification-challenge/forums/t/13043/run-xgboost-from-windows-and-python Their is a concise version of these steps at https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/tree/master/windows. I will summarize what I did below.

    1) Download Visual Basic Studio. You can download the community edition at visual studio website. There is a "free visual studio button on the upper right corner"

    2) Copy all content from the git hub repository of xgboost/tree/master/windows and Open Visual studio existing project on Visual studio

    3) There are a couple of drop down menus you need to select ( "Release" and "X64" and then select build --> build all from the upper menu. It should look something like the attached screenshot.

    4) if you see the message ========== Build: 3 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========, it is all good

    5) Browse to python-packages folder where the setup file for XGB resides and run the install command 'python setup.py install'.

    Hope this helps.

    Finally it worked for me (Mac OS) Follow steps below in command prompt:

    1. run whole command below "/bin......install.sh) "

    /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install.sh)"

    Note: check this for above command(https://brew.sh/)

    1. brew install libomp

    2. pip3 install xgboost

    This is an xgboost issue, not an Anaconda issue as you originally tagged (I don't use Anaconda but I got this too).

    EDIT: from your updates, your breakage is caused by 32-bit msys somewhere on your path, whereas you have a 64-bit install of Python. Mine and all other people's reported breakage since Aug 25 was the 0.4a12/3 prereleases:

    ORIGINAL ANSWER - Based on the limited information you provided (here, as opposed to on the Kaggle thread) and no verbose fail logs: Apparently the latest versions of xgboost on pypi, 0.4a12 and 0.4a13 are both pre-releases, which pip will not use by default, unless you do pip install --pre xgboost.

    I found this all out by digging around with pip install -v xgboost, which shows helpful verbose information on why an attempted install failed (below); then use pip help and pip install -h to see all install options:

    pip install -v xgboost Downloading/unpacking xgboost   Ignoring link
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/x/xgboost/xgboost-0.4a12.tar.gz#md5=4d768e034a28590497bb79279f036946
(from https://pypi.python.org/simple/xgboost/), version 0.4a12 is a
pre-release (use --pre to allow).   Ignoring link
https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/x/xgboost/xgboost-0.4a13.tar.gz#md5=5f53d51e4305c679192b3cabda2b0dbe
(from https://pypi.python.org/simple/xgboost/), version 0.4a13 is a
pre-release (use --pre to allow).​


    Then pip install -h tells you:

    Install Options:
  -e, --editable <path/url>   Install a project in editable mode ...
  ...
  --pre                       Include pre-release and development versions. By default, pip only finds stable versions.​

    And finally:

    pip install --pre xgboost
