I want to use install xgboost on my windows 7. but before that, when i installed MinGW-W64, it needed to use make command and when i type which mingw32-make in my git bash, it said that there is no mingw32-make in my Path ( although i gave an address for the directory of mingw32-make in the Path environment variable). So could someone help me with this or at least propose an easy way to use xgboost within ipython notebook?

    `PATH` is for folders names - not for full path with program name at the end. You need path without `mingw32-make` in `PATH` – furas Jan 16 '17 at 23:49
  • @saeid-hedayati: In the future, try to copy-paste text of output/code that you want to add to your question. Doing so makes it easier to search for your question/answer it than just having a screenshot. – Grisha Levit Jan 16 '17 at 23:56
  • @Grisha Levit thanks . duly noted :) – Saeid Hedayati Jan 20 '17 at 15:01

PATH is for folders names in which command which is searching for program name mingw32-make and in which system is searching for program when you run it. But you put folder name with program name at the end.

You need rather C:/ ... /mingw64/bin without mingw32-make at the end.
