Ray: Is there any way that I can install this library using Anaconda?

Hi :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: Is there any way that I can install this library using Anaconda?

conda install ray won't work, but pip install ray will work.

Closing this due to inactivity but feel free to reopen if there's some need for us to investigate distributing via conda-forge.

@richardliaw I am really sorry for the delayed reply :sweat_smile: . the problem is that I am using HPC (cluster). And the supervisors of the cluster told me that I can not use "pip" to install libraries (only them can do that) I can only install libraries using anaconda. That's why I asked my question. I only wants to use "ray tune" for hyper-parameter optimization with deep learning.

Oh I see; can you try creating a conda environment and then using the pip provided via conda to install Ray?

This is a different pip from the system pip, and I would assume it would be ok to use 😄

@richardliaw yes yes it worked, thank you so much.

Just a note that if it is easy to create an Anaconda package for ray, it can be useful even if it is exactly the same as the pip one. The main reason is that dependencies installed through Anaconda (and I'm thinking of Numpy specifically) may be better optimized than when installing through pip.
