Install Custom Sklearn

I forked the scikit-learn repository, added a file that I need and downloaded the repository. I am not sure how to use this custom library. I cd'ed to the scikit-learn-master folde

Solution 1:

It appears the module has not been built correctly. And so it shows importError for check_build.

Before installing the module using pip, make sure you have installed all of the dependencies. On the README file, the mentioned packages are:

Python (>=2.7 or >=3.3)
NumPy (>=1.8.2)
SciPy (>=0.13.3)
For running the examples Matplotlib>=1.1.1isrequired.

If you are not planning on contributing to the project, but only using it, it is recommended that you download from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/scikit-learn instead of forking it.

After installing and building this way, if you still have issues, you can refer http://scikit-learn.org/stable/faq.html for FAQs.
