Hi, I can see more than 160 commits has been pushed to git from 2017-11-29. Will anyone update the package on Pypi?

Until that happens, you can use this method: pip library info

Thanks.
I have no issues while using fastai on the server. I m able to execute code.

I asked because I wanted it run code in Kaggle notebook. It seems pip install fastai is only way to access fastai library in the notebook.

that’s true…

How did I forget this? We can use
pip install https://github.com/fastai/fastai/archive/master.zip

It is giving this error

will this work in google colab where i get a python notebook

I used this to install fastai library at virtualenv with python 3.5.2. When I used “import fastai”, it is okay. But When I use “from fastai.transforms import *”, I got the following error messages:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am using "lesson1.ipynb

Tested installing the latest version of fastai using the command

pip install https://github.com/fastai/fastai/archive/master.zip

Looks ok on Google Colab.

Hi everyone,

Sorry for this noob question, but, is it necesary a GPU for install fastai package? because I have tried to install with pip taking into account the solutions you give here and I don’t get it. I want to use fastai package for random forest, so I don’t need gpu.

Was your error resolved? I’m getting the same error.

I got some error like

example 1 :

ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in ()
----> 1 from fastai.conv_learner import *
2 from fastai.dataset import *
3
4 import pandas as pd
5 import numpy as np

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘fastai.conv_learner’

example 2
C:/Users/ADMIN/fastai\fastai\imports.py in ()
1 from IPython.lib.deepreload import reload as dreload
----> 2 import PIL, os, numpy as np, math, collections, threading, json, bcolz, random, scipy, cv2
3 import pandas as pd, pickle, sys, itertools, string, sys, re, datetime, time, shutil, copy
4 import seaborn as sns, matplotlib
5 import IPython, graphviz, sklearn_pandas, sklearn, warnings, pdb

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘PIL’

how do I solve it ?

This doesn’t quite work for me on Ubuntu 18.04. But it’s easily fixed using virtualenv. I’ve posted the details in a separate thread so it’s easier to find: see Installing fastai on Ubuntu using pip and virtualenv

I tried to install fastai like this and i am getting this error -

Failed to build bottleneck
ERROR: Could not build wheels for bottleneck which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

I have updated python to v3.7.6 64-bit and have installed wheel, upgraded pip and tried --no-binary methods too. However, I am still not able to install fastai.

I suggest try to install it with coda.
