How to install catboost using conda?

Question

I have created a conda environment using Miniconda. Now I want to install catboost in the environment. What command should I use to install it?

Answer 1

You can install CatBoost from the conda-forge channel. Here are the steps you need to follow to install it. I am assuming you are using Linux. I have not tested these commands on Windows terminal.

• Add conda-forge to your channels by running the following command on the terminal.

conda config --add channels conda-forge

• Then install CatBoost by running the following command on the terminal:

conda install catboost

 Alternatively, you can also use the pip command to install CatBoost. Here is the command:

pip install catboost
