What is the difference between these 2 ways of installing Theano on Windows?

Question

I want to install Theano on my windows 8.1 x64 machine. I already have anaconda (latest 64 bit) with python 2.7.x version.

I have two options of installing:

  # Option 1 : from pip 
  pip install Theano

And

  # Option 2 : Bleeding edge from git
  pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git

Can someone let me know the major differences between two and which one is suggested to install?

Answer 1

I guess using below command, you might end up installing an older version of Theano i.e. all missing updates etc.

pip install Theano

While using command for bleeding edge version installation, you might get an updated (latest developer) version of Theano.

pip install --upgrade --no-deps git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git
