I tried to use Google cloud to follow the course but found it very expensive, so I want to build a PC for deep learning but don’t know how to setup the development environment for deep learning. What kind of software, frameworks, libaries do I need to install for this course? If anyone can provide a step by step guide, that would be great.
Thanks

runtime to “GPU” to have it run fast!) See the fast.ai documentation on
[Using Colab](https://course.fast.ai/start_colab) for more information.
You can install fastai on your own machines with conda (highly

Jeremy also has a guide for Windows installation here:
Whilst Windows isn’t officially supported for fastai or the lessons at this stage, it does seem to be working now so those with the patience and boldness to venture into something a little new and somewhat untested, here’s instructions on getting started running on a GPU on Windows. (NB: most people using Windows on their laptops are advised to use a cloud GPU provider like Paperspace - accessing a cloud provider from Windows is well supported and tested for this course).
You must have an Nvi…
