# Documentation

Please visit https://mathurinm.github.io/celer/ for the latest version of the documentation.

# Basic instructions Clone the repository:

` $git clone https://github.com/mathurinm/celer.git $cd celer/ $conda env create --file environment.yml $source activate celer-env $pip install --no-deps -e . `

# Demos Lasso path computation on the Leukemia dataset (comparison with scikit-learn): ` $source activate celer-env $ipython %run examples/plot_leukemia_path.py `

Lasso path computation on the Finance/log1p dataset (more significant, but it takes times to download the data, preprocess it, and compute the path): ` $source activate celer-env $ipython %run examples/plot_finance_path.py `

# Dependencies All dependencies are in `./environment.yml`
