Confusion: What is the exact meaning of "lightgbm" in "parallel learning" example?

[Dinxin]

The folder did not contain the file named "lightgbm". I would like to run the code in python.

[guolinke]

did you mean ./lightgbm? it is the execute file in Linux.
The example for CLI version. For python with parallel learning, you can refer to dask-lightgbm.

Hi @Dinxin

lightgbm in the examples in https://lightgbm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Parallel-Learning-Guide.html refers to the LightGBM CLI.

Are you looking at that guide because you need to do distributed (multi-machine) training? If you want to do multi-machine LightGBM training, you can try dask-lightgbm.

Also keep an eye on #3515 and dask/community#104. We'll have better support and documentation for LightGBM + Dask in the near future.
