Setup Fastai v1 on Paperspace

Machine

Create a Fast.ai machine from public templates w/ P4000 and public IP

Connect to the machine

$ source deactivate fastai
$ pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv fastai_v1
$ source activate fastai_v1
$ pip install torch_nightly -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cu92/torch_nightly.html
$ pip install fastai

Clone fastai_v1 from GitHub

$ git clone https://github.com/fastai/fastai repo-fastai-v1/
$ cd repo-fastai-v1/

Reconfigure jupyter configuration file

Open with vim or nano

vim ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py

Edit lines

c.NotebookApp.allow_origin = '' to c.NotebookApp.allow_origin = '*'
c.NotebookApp.ip = 'localhost' to c.NotebookApp.ip = '0.0.0.0'
c.NotebookApp.allow_remote_access = False to c.NotebookApp.allow_remote_access = True

Then you can run the Jupyter Notebook on the fastai v1 repo directory

We're trying to run some notebook using the fastai v1 installed globally with pip

$ jupyter notebook

Access your Jupyter and run dogs_cats.ipynb on examples folder

Try to execute the first cell, if it executes you're a good to go

Let's check the fastai version

On the dogs_cats.ipynb notebook, add a cell with the following content:

import fastai fastai.version

It should print

'1.0.6'

this is the version installed with pip

Now let's try to use the fastai v1 cloned from GitHub

Uninstall the fastai pip version

$ pip uninstall fastai

At the fastai v1 directory cloned from GitHub, run:

$ tools/run-after-git-clone
$ pip install -e .[dev]

Start Jupyter

$ jupyter notebook

Let's run the dogs_cats.ipynb notebook again and check the fastai version

Try to execute the first cell, if it executes you're a good to go
Run the cell with the following content:

import fastai fastai.version

It should print a differente version from that one showed previously - today 10/17/2018 it was:

'1.0.7.dev0'

this is the version from the repo cloned from GitHub
