How to install scikit-image package on Canopy-64bit?


I am running on Window 7 and I would like to install the Scikit-image package on my Canopy 64-bit. I have looked up the Available-packeges in the package-Manager of Canopy and the scikit-image is included but the only option I have is to click on subscribe. If I click on that the ENTHOUGHT web page pops up offering me to download Canopy-express (the only that is free) but (I guess) I already have that. Is there a way to download only the package that I need? Thanks in advance


Solution

  • As you observe, scikit-image is provided pre-built only to subscribers (paid or academic), i.e. not in Canopy Express. If you have Visual Studio 2008 on your system, you can build it yourself, following these general guidelines: https://support.enthought.com/entries/23389761-Installing-packages-into-Canopy-Python-from-the-command-line

    Also, please note the following quirks regarding this package's naming: https://support.enthought.com/entries/22447950-Scikit-learn-and-Scikit-image-naming-conventions
