@phunterlau Thank you
Yes, I verified under the above instruction when I installed Xgboost.

Now I have figured out how to get Xgboost work in Jupyter Notebook.
I have to launch Jupyter Notebook by clicking the "Jupyter Notebook" from start menu, then Xgboost works.

If I launch jupyter notebook from Git Bash, then Xgboost does NOT work.
Very interesting......

@wangjiahong666 have you verified with this instruction https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/jfp/entry/Installing_XGBoost_For_Anaconda_on_Windows?lang=en and the PATH of your xgboost installation? The PATH can be the tricky key for notebooks.

@wangjiahong666 you might want to manually set the PATH from python's sys so the notebook doesn't rely on specific windows PATH configuration.

Yeyy..finally opening Jupyter notebook from the start menu works for me as well, thanks a lot.
