Introducing to Weka software


What is Weka? According to the Weka Documentation, Weka is a collection of
machine learning algorithms for data mining tasks. It contains tools for data
preparation, classification, regression, clustering, association rules mining, and
visualization. WEKA offers a modern data platform that can handle the most
demanding I/O intensive workloads and latency-sensitive applications at exabyte
scale.

We’ve been using this software for recent years, especially for the Teknik
Simulasi dan Data Mining / Data Mining course at the Computer Science study
program.

Requirements
The following matrix shows which minimum version of Java is necessary to run a
specific Weka version. The latest official releases of Weka require Java 8 or later.

Note that if you are using Windows and your computer has a display with high
pixel density (HiDPI), you may need to use Java 9 or later to avoid problems with
inappropriate scaling of Weka's graphical user interfaces.

Downloading and Installing Weka


There are two versions of Weka: Weka 3.8 is the latest stable version and Weka
3.9 is the development version. New releases of these two versions are normally
made once or twice a year. For the bleeding edge, it is also possible to download
nightly snapshots of these two versions.
The stable version receives only bug fixes and feature upgrades that do not break
compatibility with its earlier releases, while the development version may receive
new features that break compatibility with its earlier releases.

Weka 3.8 and 3.9 feature a package management system that makes it easy for
the Weka community to add new functionality to Weka. The package
management system requires an internet connection in order to download and
install packages.

Every night, a snapshot of the Subversion repository with the Weka source code
is taken, compiled, and put together in ZIP files. This happens for both the
development branch of the software and the stable branch. Those who want the
latest bug fixes before the next official release is made can download these
snapshots.

Weka 3.8 is the latest stable version of Weka. This branch of Weka only receives
bug fixes and upgrades that do not break compatibility with earlier 3.8 releases,
although major new features may become available in packages. There are
different options for downloading and installing it on your system:

Installation for Windows


1. Right click here and open the link in the new tab, then do the following
steps below.
2. You'll be redirected to the download page of Weka software. You’ll see a
count down number, let’s wait for a moment until the host processing to
start downloading.

3. After downloading, you will see a downloaded file named


“weka-version-azul-zulu-windows.exe” (e.g
weka-3-8-6-azul-zulu-windows.exe). Click on that file to run the installer.
If there’s User Account Control popup appear, you should click Yes.
4. Then you’ll see the Weka setup. All we have to do is follow the Weka
setup. Click Next to continue.

5. Read the license agreement then click I Agree.


6. At this point, you’ll see a dropdown. You should select Full for full
installation of Weka software. Check on Associate Files to help open
Weka files in the future. And make sure you have free space on your
personal computer (in this case is storage, not RAM). Then click Next

7. Next you’ll see this, this is the default location for Weka software. Weka
software requires an administrator to run. You can see the default location
at Program Files -> Weka-3-8-6. It’s okay if you want to change the
Weka software installation. But make sure you don’t forget the installation
location.
8. Last but not least, you’ll see the optional start menu creation for Weka
software. This would be helpful instead of desktop icon creation. Because
you can more easily run Weka from the search bar. So leave this out and
click Install to start the installation.

9. Wait until the installation completes, then click Next.


10. Finally, click Finish and now you have Weka software installed on your
computer!

11. To start the Weka program, you should click the Windows key then search
for “Weka”. Click Open above Run as administrator text.
