How to install packages/modules in IronPython

Question

I am new to IronPython. Thanks for you help and patience.

I installed IronPython 2.7 from http://ironpython.net/ in Visual Studio 2015. I also installed Python 2.7.6 and anaconda.

I tried the following solution and it didn't work. Installing Python Packages - IronPython

I am wondering can IronPython use the modules installed by anaconda directly?

The packages I tried to install are numpy,scipy,pandas,sklearn. I saw a document in 2012 pointed out that sklearn is not supported in IronPython. Is it still the case?

Thanks.
