How to setup fastai v0.7 on gcp instance that is setup for 2019's Part 1

Doh. I guess it was kind of obvious. So, in summary, follow the instructions here Fastai v0.7 install issues thread to create a conda environment for fastai v0.7. After it’s created and activated, jupyter notebook --no-browser --port=8888 runs jupyter at port 8888. Then, on one’s own computer, do gcloud compute ssh --zone="us-west2-b" jupyter@my-fastai-instance -- -L 8888:localhost:8888. Go to url localhost:8888/tree to start using Jupyter. Notebooks that use fastai v0.7 should then all work.
