How to Run

The easies way is to run on this Google Colab notebook for free with GPU enabled.

Alternatively run on your local dev machine

It is suggested to run on a Linux machine since it could be quite challenging to install the dependencies cairocffi, or if you only have a Windows machine, running on its Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) is also a good choice.

Require Python 3.5+ and Jupyter notebook installed
