[scikit-learn] Can I install Python ML library such as XGBoost without pip?

[C W]

Hello again,

I have 3 follow-up questions.

1) Upon searching, Anaconda website (
https://anaconda.org/anaconda/py-xgboost) says that you can install with,
> conda install -c anaconda py-xgboost
I have miniconda, not anaconda, I guess I just replace it anaconda with
minconda?

2) Using pip3 command,
> pip3 install xgboost
I don't have pip.

3) From XGBoost website, I now see that you can build XGBoost from source (
https://xgboost.readthedocs.io/en/latest/build.html)

Question: will all the 3 methods install XGBoost in the same folder?

Thanks a lot!
