I tried follow the doc to install npm and now, it does not work. I have to install npm follow nodejs doc and install now with an --unsafe-perm option
Hmm. You don’t need Node.js or NPM.
Simply download Now Desktop from here: https://zeit.co/download
It’ll download the CLI automatically.
Or you can download the CLI manually too: https://zeit.co/download#now-cli

Thanks, I manage to install it with npm anyway.
Is there something changed on the platform? I am only running the tutorial without any changes. File size exceed?
are you running on the paid plan?
My plan is free. Followed the tutorial of Jeremy without changes.
I wrote in the webapp page this post https://forums.fast.ai/t/puting-the-model-into-production-web-apps/29011/64 that may be of interest
@nok: this will happen if you somehow have your model.pth in your app directory (app/models) - (may be you ran the app locally for testing)
Make sure you delete that pth file before deploying (the server should download that file via the download url you provide in model_file_url)

Thanks! That sounds promising, I only follow the tutorial and my impression is it will do that for me. I will come back soon when I get it working. 
I keep getting this error even I follow this instruction. I have a free domain name with xxxx.ml from https://my.freenom.com.
@arunoda Is that something you can help? Thanks you.
Please make sure that your nameservers point to zeit.world.
Examples: (full list at https://zeit.world)
a.zeit.world 96.45.80.1
b.zeit.world 46.31.236.1
c.zeit.world 43.247.170.1
As an alternative, you can add following records to your DNS settings:

Thanks, I did follow the guide and the error message. I added the namesserver yet I still get the same error message.
Was trying to deploy segmentation model using zeit but unable to do so.

Here is my little web app, thanks for everyone who helped.
It’s a little web app classifying type of a container.

Hi @simonw!
Thanks a lot for sharing this! I was able to create a MVP web app in no time thanks to this.
I have a question. Is this actually a full REST Api? Is it possible to call the API via curl?
The command curl -X POST -F image=@teddy-bear.jpg 'http://localhost/upload' gave me an Internal Server Error as response. I am asking this because I want to use your boilerplate to create a backend that could be called from an Android client.
By the way I slightly modified your code to work with the latest fastai version. Check it out here. The main issue was to use create_cnn instead of ConvLearner.
Thanks a lot for reading this! 
@Andreas_Daiminger check my server boilerplate example https://github.com/IaroslavR/fastai-rest-server-template
