ML-Setup

Get started with machine learning

1. install python 3.6.6.

2. run python3 in terminal and make sure version matches downloaded version. If it does, type ctrl D to exit out of python.

3. run pip3 install virtualenv in terminal (pip is the package manager for python).

4. run virtualenv venv in terminal to create the virtual environment.

5. run python in terminal and make sure version matches downloaded version. If it does, exit out of python.

6. run source venv/bin/activate to go into virtual environment (this may take a couple minutes).

7. run jupyter notebook, which should open up a jupyter notebook in your browser.

8. On the right side of the page, click on "New" and select "Python 3" under notebook. (To exit out of jupyter type ctrl c in terminal followed by y).

9. Congrats! You can now do machine learning exploration in jupyter or run your own machine learning scripts.
