I tried to install xgboost on my Anaconda package on Windows 10. I'm using python 3.7. I ran the following command;

conda install -c conda-forge xgboost

I failed to do so. The error is shown below;

If I try conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost, xgboost can be installed but I prefer the xgboost package from conda-forge because it's more updated.

  • Please extract a [mcve] and post that. Or, maybe not, since you don't seem to be programming that software at all, so you don't have a programming question. Instead, check the bug tracker and file a bug there if you don't find the issue recorded there. – Ulrich Eckhardt Jun 07 '20 at 09:50

Unfortunately as of today, conda-forge does not yet offer a windows build for xgboost. See also the related github issue issue#3.

  • If that's the case, then windows 10 users will have to use the py-xgboost from anaconda which is an outdated version. Anaconda packages are inferior to conda-forge packages because they tend to be outdated in comparison. – user3848207 Jun 07 '20 at 14:36
