Greetings, I am new to Fast.ai, Paperspace, and cloud computing in general. I am struggling to get Paperspace to work for me.
Specifically, I would like to train a classifier from my own dataset using the deep learning lesson 1 notebook as my framework, however, I am frequently running into permission problems. I cannot programmatically write to my Paperspace VM.
The pipeline I would like to setup is one in which I:
1)Download google images to my Paperspace VM via https://github.com/hardikvasa/google-images-download
2) Train a classifier via lesson 1 notebook, specifying the path to my images
I am repeatedly failing at step 1 due to permission errors within python scripts.
A simple os.mkdir() call yields permission denied. I can do sudo mkdir within terminal, but this is not very efficient. How can I rectify this?
