LightGBM on SageMaker

Question

I have a customer who wants to install LightGBM on SageMaker notebooks, as they are currently using it outside of SageMaker.

Right now, they are interested in the ability to SSH into the instance, but it would be great if we could provide them a way to install LightGBM right now.

Cheers

Accepted Answer

It's possible to do, I have used it myself for gradient boosting, from within Jupyter you can simply run:

!conda install -y -c conda-forge lightgbm

Within a selected conda environment. No terminal access is needed, however it must be done, On the top right of the Jupyter notebook you can choose a terminal environment which will give you a shell to the backend instance and you can install there.

However if you want the notebook to be immutable/transferable you can do the install within the notebook .

Thanks
