Add Windows pip installation support (ml4t.txt) #338

Add Windows pip installation support (ml4t.txt)

Problem

Windows users who prefer pip over conda currently don't have a ml4t.txt requirements file, unlike Linux and macOS users who have both .yml and .txt files.

  • ✅ Linux: installation/linux/ml4t.yml + installation/linux/ml4t.txt
  • ✅ macOS: installation/macosx/ml4t.yml + installation/macosx/ml4t.txt
  • ❌ Windows: Only installation/windows/ml4t.yml (missing ml4t.txt)

Solution

I've created installation/windows/ml4t.txt with:

  • 356 Python packages (only packages available on PyPI)
  • Versions aligned with installation/windows/ml4t.yml
  • Properly filtered to exclude conda-only system dependencies
  • Designed for Python 3.8.x

The file has been validated and formatted correctly.

Files Created/Modified

  1. New file: installation/windows/ml4t.txt (356 packages)
  2. Modified: installation/README.md (added Windows pip instructions)
  3. New file: installation/validate_requirements.py (validation script)

Testing Status

⚠️ Note: The solution has been validated for format and structure, but not yet tested in a real Windows environment with Python 3.8. The approach follows the same methodology used for Linux/macOS requirements files.
