Gaussian process optimization using GPy. Performs global optimization with different acquisition functions. Among other functionalities, it is possible to use GPyOpt to optimize physical experiments (sequentially or in batches) and tune the parameters of Machine Learning algorithms. It is able to handle large data sets via sparse Gaussian process models.

The simplest way to install GPyOpt is using pip. ubuntu users can do:

sudo apt-get install python-pip
pip install gpyopt

If you'd like to install from source, or want to contribute to the project (e.g. by sending pull requests via github), read on. Clone the repository in GitHub and add it to your $PYTHONPATH.
