Question

I want to test some apps for data mining in GNU/Linux Debian, I downloaded “Gnome Data Mine Tools” from http://www.togaware.com/datamining/gdatamine/; I followed the instructions, I installed the app(s) and then it says that you should run the command: gdmapriori, but, it throws me this error:

/usr/local/share/gdmtools/gdmapriori.py:46: DeprecationWarning: The popen2 module is deprecated.  Use the subprocess module.
import popen2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/share/gdmtools/gdmapriori.py", line 480, in <module>
main()
File "/usr/local/share/gdmtools/gdmapriori.py", line 475, in main
AprioriApp().mainloop()

gnome.ui.App.__init__(self, appname=name, title=title)
TypeError: Required argument 'name' (pos 1) not found

What should I do? do you know another good GNU tools for data mining? thanks in advance

Answer 1

A very popular open source data mining project is Weka. From your clarifications, I think this is what you want (it’s Java-based, and not Gnome, but it’s opensource, which is what you wanted?).
