Install LensKit¶
To install the current release with Anaconda (recommended):
conda install -c lenskit lenskit
The packages in the lenskit
channel are intended to be used with
Anaconda’s default channels. We publish packages for Python 3.6, 3.7,
and 3.8.
You can also use pip
to install LensKit in a stock Python environment,
such as a virtual environment:
pip install lenskit
To use the latest development version, install directly from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/lenskit/lkpy
Then see Getting Started.
Note
LensKit is optimized for MKL-based Anaconda installs. It works in other
Python environments, but performance will usually suffer for some
algorithms. lenskit.algorithms.item_knn
is particularly
affected by this.
