Welcome to the Zero to Deep Learning® Video Course repository.

git clone https://github.com/Dataweekends/zero_to_deep_learning_video.git

https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/

cd zero_to_deep_learning_video

conda env create

wait for the environment to create.

conda activate ztdl

conda activate ztdl

Check that your prompt changed to

(ztdl) $

jupyter notebook

http://localhost:8888

Go to the course folder, open the notebook 0_Check_Environment.ipynb and run it. If you see the message:

Houston we are go!

You are good to go! Enjoy!

If for some reason you don't see Houston we are go!, the simplest solution is to delete the environment and start from scratch again.

To remove the environment:

• close the browser and go back to your terminal
• stop jupyter notebook (CTRL-C)
• deactivate the environment (Mac/Linux):

conda deactivate

• deactivate the environment (Windows 10):

deactivate ztdl

• delete the environment:

conda remove -y -n ztdl --all

• restart from environment creation and make sure that each steps completes till the end.

One thing you can also try is to update your conda executable. This may help if you already had Anaconda installed on your system.

conda update conda

These instructions have been tested on:

• Mac OSX Sierra 10.14.1
• Ubuntu 18.04
• Windows 10

Google offers a free platform to run Jupyter notebooks called Google Colaboratory. You need a Gmail or Google Apps email address to use it.

Follow these steps:

1. Open your browser and go to https://colab.research.google.com/
2. Choose the GITHUB tab and paste the repository address: https://github.com/Dataweekends/zero_to_deep_learning_video in the search bar.
3. Click on the notebook you would like to run
4. Enable GPU support in the Edit -> Notebook Settings menu
5. Enjoy running the notebook with GPU support!
6. If the notebook loads data from the repo you will have to download the data too. Follow these steps to do that:
7. Create a code cell at the top of the notebook
8. Clone the repository in Colab:

!git clone https://github.com/Dataweekends/zero_to_deep_learning_video.git

3. Replace the ../data path with zero_to_deep_learning_video/data in the cell that loads the data.
4. Enjoy!

FloydHub provides a zero-install platform-as-a-service for training and deploying DL models in the cloud. Here are the steps to run the course on Floyd:

Go to: www.floydhub.com and register.

In the terminal, with the activated ztdl environment, run:

pip install -U floyd-cli

floyd login

This will open a browser and you will have to log in with your User/Password. Then copy the token to the terminal and hit ENTER.

floyd init zerotodeeplearning

floyd run --mode jupyter --env tensorflow --gpu --data ghegoo/datasets/crowdflower-male-female/1

Wait for the notebook to come online and then navigate to the url

Run a notebook and experience the awesome power of a GPU!

When you are finished, remember to STOP the floyd environment so that you don't incur in charges.

floyd stop <PROJECT-ID>

Make sure that you have stopped the project by checking the floyd page.
