Install TPOT on RHEL server

Question

i am trying to install xgboost and TPOT on a Red Hat server, but it refuses to do so with pip3. i currently get an error of which these are the most important parts.

I have succeeded in installing xgboost on the server via git. I can't install TPOT via git because the install seems to be written for Debian systems only, leaving me at al loss for what to do.

Answer 1

The error message suggest that you need to install cmake.
