Steps to reproduce

1.First Try : Follow the official instruction : (1) upstate the compiler gcc by brew gcc 6.1.0 --without- multilib (2) install xgboost by pip : pip3 install xgboost

error : Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in...
log.pdf
2.Second Try : Follow the instruction link
but in the first step : clone the xgboost by git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost. It was stuck into the line : Cloning into '/Users/wzj/xgboost/cub'... .When I force the git process to stop,
it shows : ^Cwarning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

Thanks in advance !

I got this error too but this workaround seemed to fix it (from #1501 ).

I suggest using Docker for this purposes. You can install it on windows 10 as given in description here.
You can work using xgboost library along with other essential data science libraries using Docker. This Dockerfile can be used for the process. Else, you can also try using datmo in order setup environment and track machine learning projects for making it reproducible.
