AI 2020

1. Install dev tools and git and your favorite editor (emacs/vs code for me). These are installed by default in desk18
2. Create a private repository for this course on github, it should be called ai-mavuser, so the url to the new repo is https://github.com/gituser/ai-mavuser
3. Clone this repository (ai-spring2020-public) and your repository (ai-mavuser) locally. I work in the ~/projects directory.
4. Install conda (desk18 has that installed as well)
5. Create a local envirnoment for python using python

conda create -p env pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

1. Copy py3hello from my wmacevoy/csci000-astudent project to your project

cp -r ../ai-spring2020-public/py3hello .

1. To activate the virtual environment in the project directory

conda activate ./env

1. From there you should be able to run the hello test in the project directory

py3hello/hellotest/hellotest.py

Create pypy 3 environment

In the project home directory, type

conda create -p ./pypy-env -c conda-forge pypy3.6

You can then activate this environment with

conda activate ./pypy-env

This gives you something that should be python 3.6 compatible (but much faster), to run a command use pypy3 instead of python
