how to install xgboost on my anaconda running python3.5

Question

I'm trying to install xgboost on my anaconda (python3.5, mac OSX).

conda install -c aterrel xgboost=0.4.0

It looks like xgboost package does not support python3.5??

UnsatisfiableError: The following specifications were found to be in conflict:
  - python 3.5*
  - xgboost 0.4.0*

Really appreciate it if anyone can help with that. How can I install the package with conda install?

Try the step by step on the official site:

xgboost build can be somewhat tricky on windows but it is pretty straight forward on mac.

i would advice for you to first uninstall the prior version you have installed that isnt working.

i would also advice for you to get the most recent version. ( 0.62 i believe)
