Has anyone installed the featuretools python package which is incredibly useful for automatic generation of features/variables for modeling? From what I have been reading this appears to be an incredibly useful package to help with feature engineering, speeding up and adding a lot of value to the modeling process.
My main inquiry is, how do we get this particular package installed? I do not believe it is part of the distribution of Python that I have, and following instructions I found online to install it appear to be blocked by the firewall. Any suggestions on how to install?

Thank you!

David
