How to use Essentia in python?

Question

I'm trying to use Essentia in Python, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to install it, I have no clue what's going on in the install page. Can someone walk me through on how to do it?

Answer 1

There is no python binding for windows for this library right now. May be they will be implemented later. – VMAtm Apr 12 '16 at 19:22

Well, now it's 2018 and there are bindings and the install page looks pretty clear.

There are instructions available for Linux, Mac and compiling from source for Python. Windows seems a bit more iffy and maybe you'd want to try the dockerized version.

Hopefully, now there'll be one less 3-year-old unanswered question in the queue.
