This repository contains all of the code examples for Machine Learning for Hackers (2012). The code may not appear exactly as it does in the text, as additional comments and modifications may have been added since publication.

The code in this book relies on several R libraries. Two libraries, RCurl and XML require additional software to be installed:

• https://curl.haxx.se/ (for RCurl)
• https://xmlsoft.org/ (for XML)

To make sure you have all of the requite libraries run the package_installer.R script. In your R console type the following:

> source("package_installer.R")

When running the installer inside R you will be asked where to save the library files. If you'd like to install the libraries globally, you can run script at the command-line with admin privileges:

$ sudo RScript package_installer.R
