You first need to build the library through "make", then you can install using anaconda prompt.

First follow the official guide with the following procedure (in Git Bash on Windows):

git clone --recursive https://github.com/dmlc/xgboost
git submodule init
git submodule update

install TDM-GCC here

alias make='mingw32-make'
cp make/mingw64.mk config.mk; make -j4

Last, do the following using anaconda prompt:

cd xgboost\python-package  
python setup.py install
