Platform: Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

So putting that all together (retrospectively, hope I’m not missing anything important), I have:

• Step 1: Creating your account

• Step 2: Install Google CLI

• Step 3: Create an instance (I didn’t use the “–preemptible” option)

• Step 4:
  In the command line clone the course-v4 repository with:
  git clone https://github.com/fastai/course-v4
  and the fastbook repository with
  git clone https://github.com/fastai/fastbook.git
  Note: A git pull within the course-v4 folder or the ‘fastbook’ folder keeps them up to date.
  Also don’t forget to install fastai with:
  pip install fastai2 in the command line and its dependencies with:
  pip install -r requirements.txt after navigating to the course-v4 folder.

• Step 5: Stop an instance
