Welcome to Ed Technology and today's
lecture we are talking on WEKA
installation so basically before we
start on WEKA, WEKA is a platform which
is developed by Waikato University in
New Zealand it's a wonderful simple
platform used for research and applying
different data mining algorithms and
it's a wonderful platform and that is
why we are using it especially it's a
lightweight it's a free version of the
tool available there are a lot of other
data mining tools also available but
WEKA is free it's lightweight and it's
available for all platforms so that is
the reason we'll be using WEKA
throughout our course now let us see how
to install WEKA so in order to
install WEKA you have to go to Waikato
university website so if you google in
the you know google in your browser
I'll write down WEKA tool download so
you'll be able to get this website so
you have to go to Waikato University
website in order to make sure that
you're downloading it from authenticate
sources so current versions are
available 3.8 and 3.9 but there are
different packages available based on
the version so if we were to use it for
the first time I would suggest you
should go with 3.8 otherwise there's a
specific requirement of yours then you
can go with 3.9 and different features
and everything are available in
description mode so you can go online
and you know get this website on that
you'll have different versions of
installation so if you're using Windows
again there are different operating
systems in Windows 64 bit 32 bit and a
different you know the Java support and
everything if you're using a Mac like I
do or you're using Linux now also this
tool is also supported in that that
operating system so you can download
accordingly once you get to download it
you just have to click on the setup and
you'll get a screen like this so the
version which I am using is WEKA
3.8.3 like the basic
installation there is some
recommendation given how it suggests
that you would not have any other
operating system programs or any other
hindrance or any other softwares
you know in between of the same once you
press next it will ask for the license
you can always go through the license
it's a publicly used license and WEKA
is an open tool as I said you can
always use different algorithms the
package installer also supports lot of
new algorithms and support which we'll
be discussing in a later part once you
press the I agree it will ask you to
install associate files and JRE files I
recommend you install both and then you
know the installation procedure starts
once it is done it will also ask you to
update your Java such a bit but is there
otherwise to install a new Java setup
because it's in program which requires
the basic Java setup once that is done
it will install the system and you can
start to WEKA and also as I said it
will ask you to update certain packages
and menus which you can go to tools and
update the packages based on your
requirement and application so this is a
basic installation video our basic
installation steps for installing WEKA
and then further videos will also be
seeing how WEKA works what are the
different menus as you can see in the
WEKA and how we apply different machine
learning algorithms in the WEKA so I
hope this helps you install WEKA and
your operating system. Thank you so much
