PIP | Conda | Etc. Installation about prophet HOT 6 CLOSED

Can you explain? Do you mean adding pip install prophet and conda install prophet to the README?

from prophet.

Can you install prophet like that as of now? If so add to readme else enable this to be installed using the above commands and then add to readme.

Sorry for the slow response. Hope you are enjoying your holidays!

@sirinath You can install it using pip right now. I'll add it to the README after vacation when I get the chance to finish the conda integration.

Does this work for you? I'll leave this issue open until I have a chance to address it.

That is fine.

Enjoy your vacation.

@sirinath I've added installation instructions to the README. I took a look at conda and since prophet is pure python, I think I'll leave it as a pip package. People can still use conda to manage packages with C extensions but use pip to install prophet.

Doing conda packaging properly using cross platform packaging introduces overhead I don't want to manage currently as I would need release build machines for every supported OS. Because it's pure python, I could release an OSX version and people can download and manually convert the package for their OS and it should work, but the package not found errors for specific OS's will confuse people new to conda.
