Installing on Windows

scikit-learn requires setuptools, a third-party package that supports packaging and installing software for Python. Setuptools can be installed on Windows by running the bootstrap script at https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py.

Windows binaries for the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of scikit-learn are also available. If you cannot determine which version you need, install the 32-bit version. Both versions depend on NumPy 1.3 or newer. The 32-bit version of NumPy can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/numpy/files/NumPy/. The 64-bit version can be downloaded from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scikit-learn.

A Windows installer for the 32-bit version of scikit-learn can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/scikit-learn/files/. An installer for the 64-bit version of scikit-learn can be downloaded from http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#scikit-learn.
