I am following the Installation guide found at https://github.com/Microsoft/LightGBM/wiki/Installation-Guide to install LightGBM. In the MinGW shell, I am able to download the git repo, and then cd into the build directory. When I try try the following command:
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
I get the following error:
CMake Error at C:/Program Files/CMake/share/cmake-
3.9/Modules/CMakeMinGWFindMake.cmake:12 (message):
sh.exe was found in your PATH, here:
C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin/sh.exe
For MinGW make to work correctly sh.exe must NOT be in your path.
Run cmake from a shell that does not have sh.exe in your PATH.
If you want to use a UNIX shell, then use MSYS Makefiles.

CMake Error: CMake was unable to find a build program corresponding to
"MinGW Makefiles". CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is not set. You probably need to
select a different build tool.

I also tryed removing the sh.exe from my path.
Can anyone point me to a possible solution? I am guessing I installed cmake incorrect?
A simple solution presented itself:
pip install lightgbm
problem solved
