Having tried all of the steps outlived here and in other posts, I have created the fastai source and environment on my new NC6 instance.
To create the environment:
~/fastai$ conda env create -f ~/fastai/environment.yml
To activate it:
source activate fastai
But it doesn’t really work for me.
The first issue is that when I use the URL supplied when I invoke jupyter notebook I end up in my local system - not on the Azure box.
The second thing is I tried import torch from within ipython on the NC6 system, and I got an error (below) - so there must be some missing dependencies - but I am not sure how to tackle that!
Do you have any suggestions for either or both errors?
