Installation
------------
Currently, XGBoost4J only support installation from source. Building XGBoost4J using Maven requires Maven 3 or newer, Java 7+ and CMake 3.2+ for compiling the JNI bindings.
#### Installation from source
Building XGBoost4J using Maven requires Maven 3 or newer, Java 7+ and CMake 3.2+ for compiling the JNI bindings.
Before you install XGBoost4J, you need to define environment variable `JAVA_HOME` as your JDK directory to ensure that your compiler can find `jni.h` correctly, since XGBoost4J relies on JNI to implement the interaction between the JVM and native libraries.

This command will publish the xgboost binaries, the compiled java classes as well as the java sources to your local repository. Then you can use XGBoost4J in your Java projects by including the following dependency in `pom.xml`:
<dependency>
<groupId>ml.dmlc</groupId>
<artifactId>xgboost4j</artifactId>
<version>0.7</version>
</dependency>
<b>maven</b>
```
<dependency>
<groupId>ml.dmlc</groupId>
<artifactId>xgboost4j</artifactId>
<version>latest_source_version_num</version>
</dependency>
```
For sbt, please add the repository and dependency in build.sbt as following:
<b>sbt</b>
```sbt
resolvers += "Local Maven Repository" at "file://"+Path.userHome.absolutePath+"/.m2/repository"
"ml.dmlc" % "xgboost4j" % "latest_source_version_num"
```
#### Installation from repo
You need to add github as repo:
<b>maven</b>:
```xml
<repository>
<id>GitHub Repo</id>
<name>GitHub Repo</name>
<url>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodingCat/xgboost/maven-repo/</url>
</repository>
```
<b>sbt</b>:
```sbt
resolvers += "GitHub Repo" at "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CodingCat/xgboost/maven-repo/"
```
the add dependency as following:
<b>maven</b>
```
<dependency>
<groupId>ml.dmlc</groupId>
<artifactId>xgboost4j</artifactId>
<version>latest_version_num</version>
</dependency>
```
<b>sbt</b>
```sbt
"ml.dmlc" % "xgboost4j" % "latest_version_num"
```
For the latest release version number, please check [here](https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost/releases).
After integrating with Dataframe/Dataset APIs of Spark 2.0, XGBoost4J-Spark only supports compile with Spark 2.x. You can build XGBoost4J-Spark as a component of XGBoost4J by running `mvn package`, and you can specify the version of spark with `mvn -Dspark.version=2.0.0 package`. (To continue working with Spark 1.x, the users are supposed to update pom.xml by modifying the properties like `spark.version`, `scala.version`, and `scala.binary.version`. Users also need to change the implementation by replacing SparkSession with SQLContext and the type of API parameters from Dataset[_] to Dataframe)
