Get StartedGetting started with Cornac is simple, and you just need to install it first. Please make sure that you have the latest version of pip, and you are using Python 3 (we recommend version >=3.6).
Please run the appropriate Cornac install command according to your platform.
#The wheel (.whl) files are for Python 3.6, please make sure you are on the same Python version.
#Installing PyTorch is required as this dependency is not handled automatically.
pip3 install http://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu/torch-0.4.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
pip3 install https://github.com/PreferredAI/cornac/raw/master/dist/cornac-0.1.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whlpip3 install https://github.com/PreferredAI/cornac/archive/master.zip --process-dependency-links#PyTorch is required, please follow the instructions at "https://pytorch.org/" to install it on MacOS using conda.
