We will use Conda to obtain a standard installation of Python and related useful packages. If you aren't already using it, please install it using the platform-specific instructions provided on the Conda installation page.
We have provided an environment file for this assignment. To create a new environment with the correct packages, run
conda env create -f environment.yml
This will create a new environment named cs276-pa1. You can activate it by running
conda activate cs276-pa1
Once you are done working on the assignment, you can deactivate it by running
conda deactivate
If you’ve got conda v4.4+, you should use conda activate cs276-pa1 and similarly conda deactivate
We'll be using a Jupyter notebook to do our assignment. You can start a new session with
jupyter notebook
This will start a local server which you can then connect with using a local browser.
