Facebook fastText C++ compiler

Is it possible to build Facebook's fastText library on Pythonanywhere? It requires a compiler with good C++11 support such as gcc-4.6.3 or newer or clang-3.3 or newer. The full requirements are here: https://github.com/facebookresearch/fastText

Thanks!

We have gcc and clang available, so there's a good chance it'll work. Easiest way to find out is to try!

Cool, I'll give it a try:)

Do post back here if you succeed, to let everyone know!

Yes, it works.

Yeah, it works. Very easy to set up.
