RoBO - a Robust Bayesian Optimization framework.
================================================

Master Branch
------------------





Installation
------------

RoBO uses the Gaussian processes library [george](https://github.com/automl/george.git) and the random forests library [pyrfr](https://github.com/automl/random_forest_run). In order to use these libraries make sure that libeigen and swig are installed:

```
sudo apt-get install libeigen3-dev swig 
```

Download RoBO and then change into the new directory:

```
git clone https://github.com/automl/RoBO
cd RoBO/
```

Install the required dependencies.
```
for req in $(cat requirements.txt); do pip install $req; done
```

Finally install RoBO by:

```
python setup.py install
```
