Some third-party distributions are now providing versions of scikit-learn integrated with their package-management systems. The most popular ones are listed on the :ref:`install` page.
These can make installation and upgrading much easier for users since the integration includes the ability to automatically install dependencies (numpy, scipy) that scikit-learn requires.
The following is an incomplete list of python and os distributions that provide their own version of scikit-learn.
The MacPorts package is named py<XY>-scikits-learn,
where XY denotes the Python version.
It can be installed by typing the following
command:
sudo port install py27-scikit-learn
or:
sudo port install py36-scikit-learn
Arch Linux's package is provided through the official repositories as
python-scikit-learn for Python.
It can be installed by typing the following command:
# pacman -S python-scikit-learn
scikit-learn is available via pkgsrc-wip:

The Fedora package is called python-scikit-learn for the Python 2 version
and python3-scikit-learn for the Python 3 version. Both versions can
be installed using yum:
$ sudo yum install python-scikit-learn
or:
$ sudo yum install python3-scikit-learn
