The following software needs to be installed on the developer machine:

The exercise programs for this chapter can be downloaded from our GitHub repository at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Machine-Learning-for-Mobile/tree/master/housing%20price%20prediction. 

In the following program, we are going to use pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn to create the model. So, install these packages from the pip package manager using the following command from the Command Prompt/Terminal:

pip install scikit-learn
pip install numpy
pip install pandas

In order to convert the created model to the Core ML format, we need to use the Core ML scikit-learn Python converter provided by Apple:

pip install -U coremltools
