Answer 1

I figured out easy way to install XgBoost by mix of what is mentioned here.

Step 1: Install gitbash from here and start gitbash.

Step 2: git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost

Step 3: git submodule init

       git submodule update

step 4: alias make='mingw32-make'

step 5: cp make/mingw64.mk config.mk; make -j4

step 6: Goto Anaconda prompt and if you have a conda environment then activate that environment like my was py35 so I activate it by typing activate py35

cd python-package
python setup.py install

step 7: setup the Path in system environment variable to the path where you installed xgboost/python-package.
