👋 Welcome to MLE Cohort 10 (October 2022)!

Welcome to MLE! 🎉 Follow these steps to get your development environment teed up and aligned to the rest of the class. This will ensure that we can hit the ground running this Tuesday! 🏃

🚀 Let's Get Started!

Windows

• Install Windows Subsystem for Linux using Powershell

wsl --install -d Ubuntu-20.04

• Install Windows Terminal (You can even make it your default!)
• Install Ubuntu

Give it a test drive!

Continue by installing the following tools using Windows Terminal to setup your environment. When prompted, make sure to add conda to init.

Tool	Purpose	Command
🐍 Anaconda	Python & ML Toolkits	wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2021.11-Linux-x86_64.sh bash Anaconda3-2021.11-Linux-x86_64.sh source ~/.bashrc
Git	Version Control	sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git-all

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu)

Open terminal using Ctrl+Shift+T. Enter the following commands in terminal to setup your environment. When prompted, make sure to add conda to init.

Tool	Purpose	Command
🐍 Anaconda	Python & ML Toolkits	wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2021.11-Linux-x86_64.sh bash Anaconda3-2021.11-Linux-x86_64.sh source ~/.bashrc
Git	Version Control	sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git-all

macOS Intel

Open terminal using ⌘+Space and type terminal. Enter the following commands in terminal to setup your environment. When prompted, make sure to add conda to init.

Tool	Purpose	Command
🐍 Anaconda	Python & ML Toolkits	wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2021.11-MacOSX-x86_64.sh bash Anaconda3-2021.11-MacOSX-x86_64.sh source ~/.bashrc
Git	Version Control	sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git-all

macOS ARM

To leverage the Mx chip from Python, you must use a special Python distribution called Miniforge. Open terminal using ⌘+Space and type terminal. Enter the following commands in terminal to setup your environment.

Miniforge can be installed using Homebrew or from the source. We suggest trying Homebrew option first.

Option 1 Homebrew

The next steps require homebrew installed. To install Homebrew, follow the link and copy/paste the installation command into a terminal window. Once you have installed Homebrew, restart the terminal window.

Install the xcode-select command-line utilities by typing the following command in the terminal

xcode-select --install

After running the commands from the table, when prompted, initiate your conda base environment by running conda init.

Tool	Purpose	Command
🐍 Miniforge	Python & ML Toolkits	brew install miniforge
Git	Version Control	sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git-all

Option 2 From the Source

After running the commands from the table, when prompted, initiate your conda base environment by running conda init.

Tool	Purpose	Command
🐍 Miniforge	Python & ML Toolkits	chmod +x ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh sh ~/Downloads/Miniforge3-MacOSX-arm64.sh source ~/miniforge3/bin/activate
Git	Version Control	sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade sudo apt install git-all

Finally, make sure that GitHub is ready to roll

If you don't already have one, make an account on Github
