There is an error in the preface of the book for installing packages. I am leaving this section here in the README to have an updated list of packages and installation instructions
You can choose to create a virtual envirionment for the packages used in the book, so it doesn't clash with other packages you plan to use later on.
# create a virtual environment named "book" using python 3.6
conda create -n book python=3.6
# activate the environment
# so all installed packages will go in there and not mess up your base python environment
source activate bookWhether you decited to create a virtual environment or not, you can install the packages with the below commands.
If you did use virtual environments, remember to source activate book before you follow along with the book
so the packages you installed can be loaded.
conda install pandas xlwt openpyxl seaborn numpy ipython jupyter statsmodels scikit-learn regex wget odo numba
conda install -c conda-forge pweave # you don't really need this package, it was used to build and create the book
conda install -c conda-forge feather-format
pip install lifelines pandas-datareaderYou can choose to just download the datasets by using Minhas Kamal's DownGit by clicking the link here
