Installation¶
Linux¶
Windows¶
One easy way to get a Python distribution with the required packages is to use the Anaconda environment from Continuum Analytics.
- Download and install the free version of Anaconda according to your operating system from their website.
- Open a (new) terminal window:
- Navigate to Applications/Accessories/cmd, or
- open anaconda Command Prompt from windows start
You should now be able to launch a Python interpreter by typing ipython in the terminal. In the ipython prompt, you can check your installation by importing the libraries we will need later:
$ import numpy
$ import pylab
To install the latest version of GPy, git is required. A git client on Windows can be found here. It is recommened to install with the option “Use Git from the Windows Command Prompt”. Then, GPy can be installed with the following command
pip install git+https://github.com/SheffieldML/GPy.git@devel
