Pre-Lab 1: Orange Installation Guide

Heru Praptono, MscR & Denny, PhD

A First Greeting!

Welcome to Big Data Mining course! Our course will be utilising both Orange and
Python as the tools during the lab sessions onwards, to help us explore and
implement some of the learning algorithms from data. Of those all lab sessions,
the idea is to get clearer the visual pipelines, and some of “under the hood” of a
pipeline for more customisation, that will frequently needed in due course. Trying
to implement the code in Python once understanding an algorithm will also give
us more insight, and give better understanding.

1. Installation

LINUX

a. Installation with Anaconda (recommended)

If you are using python provided by Anaconda distribution, you are almost ready
to go. First of all, just install Anaconda first, create your new virtual environment,
and then activate your virtual environment (just find by yourself on how to do!).
Once environment is prepared, add conda-forge to the list of channels you can
install packages from

conda config --add channels conda-forge

and run

conda install orange3

conda install -c defaults pyqt=5 qt

(the second commands installs qt and pyqt from the defaults channel, as those
provided by the conda-forge do not include webkit)
b. Installation with PIP

Orange can also be installed from the Python Package Index. You may need
additional system packages provided by your distribution.

pip install orange3

c. Installing from source

Clone our repository from GitHub or download the source code tarball. Then
follow the instructions in README.md

To run Orange Canvas run

python -m Orange.canvas

WINDOWS

a. Installation with the installer package

In order to get the installer package, just download the latest version for
Windows, visit:
https://orange.biolab.si/download/windows/

and follow the given installation guide until finish.

b. Installation with Anaconda

If you are using python provided by Anaconda distribution, you are almost ready
to go. Add conda-forge to the list of channels you can install packages from

conda config --add channels conda-forge

and run

conda install orange3

c. Installation with PIP

Orange can also be installed from the Python Package Index:

pip install orange3

2. Check your Installation

with LINUX, just simply run the following command “orange-canvas” in command
line:

then the following Orange Canvas windows should appear..

If you are using Windows, just run the orange from start menu.
