Install from Pypi (pip)

 pip install bnlearn

# Force install the latest version by using the -U (update) argument.
pip install -U bnlearn

Install from github

pip install git+https://github.com/erdogant/bnlearn

Create environment

If desired, install bnlearn from an isolated Python environment using conda:

conda create -n env_bnlearn python=3.10
conda activate env_bnlearn

Create environment.

Notice the last line. You need to see that your environment is now set as bnlearn. In my case it is as following:

(env_bnlearn) D:\>

Uninstall

If you want to remove your bnlearn installation with your environment, it can be as following:

# List all the active environments. bnlearn should be listed.
conda env list

# Remove the bnlearn environment
conda env remove --name env_bnlearn

# List all the active environments. *env_bnlearn* should be absent.
conda env list

Validate

Lets checkout whether it works by a simple example. Start python in your console:

python

Run the following lines which should result in a figure:

import bnlearn as bn
df = bn.import_example()
model = bn.structure_learning.fit(df)
G = bn.plot(model)

Import Error

If you are using jupyter notebook or colab, you can get a numpy error because by default, an older version of numpy is installed.

# Import
import bnlearn as bn

# The following error occurs
RuntimeError : Traceback (most recent call last)
RuntimeError: module compiled against API version 0x10 but this version of numpy is 0xf . Check the section C-API incompatibility at the Troubleshooting ImportError section at https://numpy.org/devdocs/user/troubleshooting-importerror.html#c-api-incompatibility for indications on how to solve this problem .
ImportError: numpy.core.multiarray failed to import

To fix this, you need an installation of numpy version=>1.24.1 which is installed during the bnlearn installation. However, when you are using colab or a jupyter notebook, you need to reset your kernel first to let it work. Go to the menu and click Runtime -> restart runtime. Now again import bnlearn, and it should work.
