When I tried import from python terminal I get this error, although I followed all the steps to install xgboost, somehow python is unable to get the package details.I am relatively new to python, I could easily install numpy and pandas packages,I used this link for installation on MACOSX http://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html
>>> import xgboost Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named xgboost
When I did pip install xgboost, I am getting this error,
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/h7/pyph_7qj6171tqp50cf2xc7m0000gn/T/pip-build-TEvbD6/xgboost/
I am getting this on printing sys path,
print sys.path

First you need to get control of your python environment. Download the homebrew python by pasting these into a fresh terminal window
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
here you will be prompterd to enter your password. After homebrew is installed, install python with brew install python
. Please check your installation with brew doctor
and follow homebrew’s suggestions.
Now, with a fresh terminal window, install xgboost from pip. Open terminal and paste this in:
pip install xgboost
