Installing scikit-learn on Amazon Linux AMI on EC2

README.md

To install scikit-learn easily run the following command.

curl https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dacamo76/4780765/raw/c3779996d8f6b13caaaa48d33aa1585684c7f8e6/scikit-learn-install.sh | sh

Please look over the shell file being run to make sure no evil is done to your machine.

scikit-learn-install.sh

sudo yum -y install gcc-c++ python27-devel atlas-sse3-devel lapack-devel
wget https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/v/virtualenv/virtualenv-1.11.6.tar.gz
tar xzf virtualenv-1.11.6.tar.gz 
python27 virtualenv-1.11.6/virtualenv.py sk-learn
. sk-learn/bin/activate
pip install numpy
pip install scipy
pip install scikit-learn

This script did not install scikit-learn for me, I instead made my own bootstrap script:

#!/bin/bash
sudo pip install numpy
sudo pip install scipy
sudo pip install -U scikit-learn
