Installation Guide
==================
**NOTE**. If you are planning to use Python on a Linux system, consider installing XGBoost from a pre-built binary wheel. The wheel is available from Python Package Index (PyPI). You may download and install it by running

This page gives instructions on how to build and install the xgboost package from
scratch on various systems. It consists of two steps:
