body: <p><a href="http://xgboost.readthedocs.org/en/latest/python/python_intro.html">http://xgboost.readthedocs.org/en/latest/python/python_intro.html</a></p>
  
  <p>On the homepage of xgboost(above link), it says:
  To install XGBoost, do the following steps:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>You need to run <code>make</code> in the root directory of the project</p></li>
  <li><p>In the python-package directory run</p>
  
  <p>python setup.py install</p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>However, when I did it, for step 1 the following error appear:
  make : The term 'make' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the
   spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.</p>
  
  <p>then I skip step1 and did step 2 directly, another error appear:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "setup.py", line 19, in &lt;module&gt;
      LIB_PATH = libpath['find_lib_path']()
    File "xgboost/libpath.py", line 44, in find_lib_path
      'List of candidates:\n' + ('\n'.join(dll_path)))
  __builtin__.XGBoostLibraryNotFound: Cannot find XGBoost Libarary in the candicate path, did you install compilers and run build.sh in root path?
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to install xgboost for python on Windows10 platform? Thanks for your help!</p>
