In order to set up Python on your own machine, we recommend using Anaconda. Follow the steps outlined in our YouTube instruction video to install Python and getting started with the Jupyter notebooks.
If you are more advanced and/or Anaconda is already set up on your machine, you can create the course environment with the necessary libraries through the following two steps.
- Install
mamba(in thebaseenvironment). This can significantly speed up the creation of new conda environments. Do this with the following command in your terminal:
conda install conda-forge::mamba
- Set up the new environment
APMLby running the following command in your terminal:
mamba env create -f environment.yml
Now, you can activate the environment via
conda activate APML
and start Jupyter lab with
jupyter lab
