Installations

We will be using the OSCER supercomputer this semester. Having a configuration of python/tensorflow/keras/jupyter on your own machine is good, too. You want to be using Tensorflow 2.4.0 or better for this class.

Miniconda

Miniconda is a minimalist installation of Anaconda. Since we only need a subset of packages, this approach will use much less disk space.

Installation through Miniconda from Config File

This is the recommended approach

Installation through Miniconda by Hand

Jupyter Lab

Jupyter Lab is an interactive development environment that you should only be using on your local machine (never on the supercomputer!). It is useful for quickly testing out ideas and code before you execute experiments.

If you followed the instructions above, then you already have Jupyter Lab installed. Otherwise ... Jupyter Lab installation

Useful software to support jupyter:

Supercomputer

In general, you do not need to install your own copy of python/tensorflow/keras. Instead, you can reference mine.

Of course, you will not be able to install additional packages into my space (if you want something, please ask).
