Installing scikit-learn

There are two ways in which you can install scikit-learn on your personal device:

• By using the pip method
• By using the Anaconda method

The pip method can be implemented on the macOS/Linux Terminal or the Windows PowerShell, while the Anaconda method will work with the Anaconda prompt.

Choosing between these two methods of installation is pretty straightforward:

• If you would like all the common Python package distributions for data science to be installed in one environment, the Anaconda method works best
• If you would like to build you own environment from scratch for scikit-learn, the pip method works best (for advanced users of Python)
