Installing LensKit

We distribute LensKit through both PyPI and Conda (in the conda-forge channel).

Once you have installed LensKit, see Getting Started.

Conda and Pixi

To install the current release with Anaconda (recommended):

conda install -c conda-forge lenskit

If you are using Pixi, you can add LensKit as a dependency to your project:

pixi add lenskit

Note

To use the latest development LensKit in a Pixi project, add the following to your pixi.toml:

[pypi-dependencies]
lenskit = { git = "https://github.com/lenskit/lkpy.git" }

Pip

You can also use pip to install LensKit in a standard Python environment, such as a virtual environment:

pip install lenskit

To use the latest development version, install directly from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/lenskit/lkpy
