DoWhy Installation

DoWhy support Python 3.6+. To install, you can use pip or conda.

Latest Release

Install the latest release using pip.

pip install dowhy

Install the latest release using conda.

conda install -c conda-forge dowhy

If you face "Solving environment" problems with conda, then try conda update --all and then install dowhy. If that does not work, then use conda config --set channel_priority false and try to install again. If the problem persists, please add your issue here.

Development Version

If you prefer the latest dev version, clone this repository and run the following command from the top-most folder of the repository.

pip install -e .

Requirements

DoWhy requires the following packages:

  • numpy
  • scipy
  • scikit-learn
  • pandas
  • networkx (for analyzing causal graphs)
  • matplotlib (for general plotting)
  • sympy (for rendering symbolic expressions)
  • If you face any problems, try installing dependencies manually.
pip install -r requirements.txt

Optionally, if you wish to input graphs in the dot format, then install pydot (or pygraphviz).

For better-looking graphs, you can optionally install pygraphviz. To proceed, first install graphviz and then pygraphviz (on Ubuntu and Ubuntu WSL).

sudo apt install graphviz libgraphviz-dev graphviz-dev pkg-config
## from https://github.com/pygraphviz/pygraphviz/issues/71
pip install pygraphviz --install-option="--include-path=/usr/include/graphviz" \
--install-option="--library-path=/usr/lib/graphviz/"



EconML Installation

Install the latest release from PyPI:

> pip install econml

For Developers

You can get started by cloning this repository. We use setuptools for building and distributing our package. We rely on some recent features of setuptools, so make sure to upgrade to a recent version with pip install setuptools --upgrade. Then from your local copy of the repository you can run pip install -e . to get started (but depending on what you're doing you might want to install with extras instead, like pip install -e .[plt] if you want to use matplotlib integration, or you can use pip install -e .[all] to include all extras).

Running the tests

This project uses pytest for testing. To run tests locally after installing the package, you can use pip install pytest-runner followed by python setup.py pytest.

We have added pytest marks to some tests to make it easier to run a subset, and you can set the PYTEST_ADDOPTS environment variable to take advantage of this. For instance, you can set it to -m "not (notebook or automl)" to skip notebook and automl tests that have some additional dependencies.

Generating the documentation

This project's documentation is generated via Sphinx. Note that we use graphviz's dot application to produce some of the images in our documentation, so you should make sure that dot is installed and in your path.

To generate a local copy of the documentation from a clone of this repository, just run python setup.py build_sphinx -W -E -a, which will build the documentation and place it under the build/sphinx/html path.

The reStructuredText files that make up the documentation are stored in the docs directory; module documentation is automatically generated by the Sphinx build process.

Causal-learn needs the following packages to be installed beforehand:

  • python 3 (>=3.7)
  • numpy
  • networkx
  • pandas
  • scipy
  • scikit-learn
  • statsmodels
  • pydot

(For visualization)

  • matplotlib
  • graphviz

To use causal-learn, we could install it using pip:
