How to install Auto-Sklearn on Mac OS (Big sur version: ✅)
#Auto-Sklearn on BigSur OSX 🖥
On the installation guide for Auto-Sklearn, the authors state: "We currently do not know if auto-sklearn works on OSX"
(Auto-Sklearn, 2021). However, there are a few steps to take that are not clear on Github/Stack, so I decided to compile
a list of those solutions and make it work for the most recent stable version of OSX (MacOS Big Sur 11.4 (20F71)).
Please feel free to follow those instructions and have fun with Auto-Sklearn. Additionally, @auto-sklearn,
if you find this solution interesting, please share the link somewhere on the installation guide.
# Contribution 👍
Please add a comment to this gist if you see any improvements that can help others, for the sake of the Apple community
and Auto-ML tools.
# The procedure for installing Auto-Sklearn is as follows 🪜
⚠️ Note: We consider that you already have acquired Python3.x. ⚠️
1️⃣ Installation of swig3:
> brew install swig@3
> brew link swig@3
2️⃣ Installation of xgboost:
> cd /tmp
> git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost
***
2.1) Installation of GCC:
> brew install gcc
Or use the conda:
> conda create -n bayes
> conda activate bayes
> conda install gcc ⚠️(if not found refers to: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/gcc)⚠️
***
> cd xgboost ; cp make/minimum.mk ./config.mk ; make -j4
> cd python-package
> sudo python setup.py install ⚠️ or if you are using python3 ⚠️ sudo python3 setup.py install
3️⃣ Installation of Auto-Sklearn:
> pip install auto-sklearn ⚠️ or if you are using pip3 ⚠️ pip3 install auto-sklearn
⛔️ If there are any errors, please refer to the following information gathered from Stackoverflow and other website.
After the completion of the 3.1 or 3.2 problem: install again auto-sklearn (step above): > pip(3) instal auto-sklearn
3.1) `XGBoostLibraryNotFound: Cannot find XGBoost Library in the candidate path, did you install compilers and run build.sh
in root path?`
> cp [path_to_libxgboost.dylib] /Users/...../.conda/envs/untitled/xgboost/
List of candidates:
- /private/var/folders/xw/cvs2qk9d77vc8fgn7zyvp84sqjlg4_/T/pip-install-25jfq24s/xgboost/xgboost/libxgboost.dylib

3.2) `Manually install pyrfr`
pyrfr == 0.6.1, Downloadhttps://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyrfr/0.6.1
After the above-mentioned extract the packet download, modify after extracting installation file setup.py
extra_compile_args = ['-O2', '-std=c++11']
extra_compile_args = ['-O2', '-std=c++11', '-stdlib=libc++', '-mmacosx-version-min=10.7']
