Are there any plans to support installation on MacOS?

I found that the MacOS version is not yet available in the pypi repository. I wonder if there are plans to provide a mac version, or is there any way to install it manually?

Hi, thanks for the issue. To use deep forest on Mac OS, here are the instructions:

$ git clone https://github.com/LAMDA-NJU/Deep-Forest.git
$ cd Deep-Forest
$ pip install --verbose -e .

The compilation should run smooth provided that you have installed X-Code, and a valid environment (It is recommended to use the pakcage environment from Anaconda).

Feel free to comment below if you have any problem during the compilation. I have tested it on MacOS Big Sur 11.1, and it looks fine after compilation.

@xuyxu Great, it does work. Thank you so much for the speedy reply.

I have been looking forward to deep-forest for a long time. My AutoML project HyperGBM based on the gbm model to achieve end-to-end full pipeline automl, currently supports xgboost, lightgbm, catboost algorithms. I am going to add CascadeForestClassifier as its built-in algorithm, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate further.

Thanks! We would be happy to see a tool that makes hyper-parameter tunning for deep forest easier ;-) As to cooperation, you may need to check the license and contact the leader of our organization.
