Local H2O-3 cluster

This is the easiest method to run H2O-3 and is suitable for the small datasets used in code samples in this book. It launches H2O-3 on your local machine (versus an enterprise cluster environment) and does not involve H2O Enterprise Steam.

First, we will perform a one-time setup of our H2O-3 Python environment.

Step 1 – Install H2O-3 in Python

To set up your H2O-3 Python client, simply install three module dependencies in your Python environment and then the h2o-3 Python module. You must use Python 2.7.x, 3.5.x, 3.6.x, or 3.7.x.

More specifically, do the following:

1. Install dependencies in your Python environment:

   pip install requests
   pip install tabulate
   pip install future 

2. Install the H2O-3 library in your Python environment:

   pip install h2o

Please refer to http://h2o-release.s3.amazonaws.com/h2o/rel-zumbo/1/index.html (the INSTALL IN PYTHON tab) to install H2O-3 in Conda.

You are now ready to run H2O-3 locally. Let&apos...
