"Installing Anaconda instead of Python for Windows"

User13

Rapidminer Studio requires Pandas for the Python Scripting extension to work. Since installing Pandas can be a bit tricky to install on Windows platform we suggest using Anaconda instead of just standard Python as it includes Pandas.




Anaconda can be installed by using the installer from Continuum at

After installing Anaconda make sure to change the path in the preferences/scripting location to include the new path for python.exe in the Anaconda installation directory.
