Install Dask

You can install dask using conda:

conda install dask

You can install dask using pip:

pip install dask

Dask also ships with Anaconda so you may have it already.

Install parts of dask

Different components of dask have different dependencies that are only relevant for that component.

• dask.array: numpy
• dask.bag: dill
• dask.dataframe: pandas, bcolz (in development)
• dask.distributed: pyzmq (in development)

The base pip install of dask is fairly minimal. This is to protect lightweight dask.bag users from having to install heavyweight dependencies like bcolz or pandas. You can either install these dependencies separately or, when installing with pip you can specify which set of dependencies you would like as a parameter:

pip install dask[array]
pip install dask[bag]
pip install dask[dataframe]
pip install dask[complete]
