Large-scale sparse linear classification and regression in Python/Cython.
The required dependencies to build the software are Python >= 2.6, setuptools, Numpy >= 1.3, SciPy >= 0.7, scikit-learn (git version), Cython >= 0.15.1 and a working C/C++ compiler.
To run the tests you will also need nose >= 0.10.
First run:
make cython
Then to install in your home directory, use:
python setup.py install --home
To install for all users on Unix/Linux:
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
