AWS AMI available for testing

Thanks for the suggestion. Will pursue the AWS DL AMI route.

@jeremy I created an instance with your AMI. but nothing is installed when i run lesson 1. cuda, torch and bcolz keep showing import error.

please advise, it has taken me forever to finish fast.ai lesson 1 due to this issue

@arunabh Spin up a instance with plain Ubuntu 16.04 and Try Running the paperspace bash script here . If you get any error in the inital few lines comment/remove them. It will work fine i suppose.

thanks. will try

Still does not work. torch not found is an error that pops up again and again. Also, a lot of python libraries are not installed when running the jupyter notebook

can you post what error you have got ? Did you run the script by SSH into the Instance using putty like softwares: Web GUI slogs. if you still face the problem.
Try the following:

  1. If you have got the Cuda drivers and CUDNN and anaconda Setup. Else run the commands from the paperspace script line by line.
  2. Do a git clone on Fastai repo. Delete Fastai Environment if present using : conda env remove -n fastai
  3. Create a new environment using the environment.yml present in the fastai repo.
    Hope it helps.

May I know how this was solved? @arunabh
Have the same kind of problem. Though with bcolz.

Hi everyone, my post that solves the question “how to setup fastai in an Amazon AWS region without fastai AMI like in Europe”.
