First we want to set up an environment. The environment we will set up in this example is called ‘jamesenvironment’
Type the following and press return, press ‘y’ and enter when asked.
conda create -n jamesenvironment
We now need to activate the environment we just created
Type:
conda activate jamesenvironment
We are now ‘in’ the environment we created as can be seen by the (jamesenvironment) before the prompt.
The following can take a little time but this is what I installed to get things working for me. I understand Keras is included with Tensorflow but I wanted just the Keras package as well so I could refer directly to it as opposed to referencing the Tensor package.
The follow is the list of the things I typed at the prompt in my environment. Do each one of these in step, and remember to click ‘y’ when asked.
conda install -c anaconda numpy
conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow
conda install -c conda-forge matplotlib
conda install -c conda-forge keras
conda install -c conda-forge scikit-learn
conda install -c anaconda pandas
conda install -c plotly plotly
Typing: ‘
Typing: ‘conda info -e’ at the promp will give you a list of the environments you’ve set up.
When you’ve installed all the above packages, open Anaconda Navigator from the start menu.
In the
When you launch Jupyter Notebook in your created environment you will see something like this.
Click on the area [1] New and select Python 3. This will open a new notebook.
