Install#

From PyPi or conda-forge repositories#

imbalanced-learn is currently available on the PyPi’s repositories and you can install it via pip:

pip install imbalanced-learn

The package is released also on the conda-forge repositories and you can install it with conda (or mamba):

conda install -c conda-forge imbalanced-learn

Intel optimizations via scikit-learn-intelex#

Imbalanced-learn relies entirely on scikit-learn algorithms. Intel provides an optimized version of scikit-learn for Intel hardwares, called scikit-learn-intelex. Installing scikit-learn-intelex and patching scikit-learn will activate the Intel optimizations.

You can refer to the following blog post for some benchmarks.

Refer to the following documentation for instructions:

From source available on GitHub#

If you prefer, you can clone it and run the setup.py file. Use the following commands to get a copy from Github and install all dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/scikit-learn-contrib/imbalanced-learn.git
cd imbalanced-learn
pip install .

Be aware that you can install in developer mode with:

pip install --no-build-isolation --editable .

If you wish to make pull-requests on GitHub, we advise you to install pre-commit:

pip install pre-commit
