How to install Yandex CatBoost on Anaconda x64?

Question

I successfully installed CatBoost through

pip install catboost 

But I got errors when I tried a python script sample in a Jupiter Notebook

 import numpy as np from catboost import CatBoostClassifier ImportError: No module named '_catboost' ImportError: DLL load failed:    . 

Link to the CatBoost website: https://catboost.yandex/

If you are using python 3.5, pip may not load the correct version of the wheel. Instead of catboost-0.1.1.2-py3-none-win_amd64.whl you need catboost-0.1.1.2-cp35-none-win_amd64.whl .

Try reinstalling catboost: pip install catboost --no-cache-dir
