This is the vowpal wabbit fast online learning code. For Windows, look at README.windows.txt
You can download the latest version from here: https://github.com/JohnLangford/vowpal_wabbit/wiki/Download
Alternatively, the very latest version is available here:
git clone git://github.com/JohnLangford/vowpal_wabbit.git
You should be able to build it on most systems with: make (make test)
If that fails, try:
./autogen.sh
make
(make test)
make install
Note that ./autogen.sh requires automake.On OSX, this implies installing
'glibtools'.
For OSX: if make fails with errors then try:
brew install libtool
brew install boost --with-python
This will install appropriate versions of 'glibtools' and 'boost' on OSX.
Options that were passed to ./configure in 7.6 and earlier may now be passed
to ./autogen.sh.
Be sure to read the wiki: https://github.com/JohnLangford/vowpal_wabbit/wiki for the tutorial, command line options, etc.
The 'cluster' directory has it's own documentation for cluster parallel use, and the examples at the end of test/Runtests give some example flags.
