Is there anyway to use tensorflow or other python frameworks online?

Hi there,

I am having a hard time finding a good development environment for python. Specifically installing tensorflow / working in a good IDE has proven difficult and I haven't got it to work in 4 days.

Is there anyplace I can simply import tensorflow into an online workplace so I don't have to bother installing python and going through that hassle?

There are a few code python online sites like repl.it. I found a really good one that sort of lets you test algorithms online here:


I am normally an app developer looking to do more machine learning coding. What's the easiest way to install tensorflow and get it working?

Mark if you are ok with Jupyter notebooks for working with Python I can point you to our TF AMI. It has everything installed and ready to go.
You can launch on a GPU or CPU(If you want something cheaper to experiment with initially) instance type.

Cheers,
Sono

Setting up a python environment is probably the easiest of any  language.  Take a look at anaconda it takes hardly any time to set up.  Anaconda comes standard with a lot of scientific modules including Jupyter Notebook (ipython).
The jupyter notebook is the easiest and simplest way to explore python.

Anaconda has scikit, numpy , pandas, matplotlib , qt etc modules  by default.  

If you don’t need GPU/Cuda/CudaNN then installing vanilla Tensorflow is very simple just follow the instructions on tensorflow.org  

An alternative IDE which I would recommend is pycharm there is a community edition.   python install comes with a default IDE called IDLE.

I have seen some containers on offer in the past, but can’t find those links now.  But I seem to remember they had tf install of python.

Hope this helps

Give codeenv a try, that is what I am using until a windows version is available.

I've included setup instructions on our course github for students of the Kadenze course, "Creative Applications of Deep Learning": https://github.com/pkmital/CADL#installation-preliminaries - maybe it helps, though I think now Tensorflow also offers Docker https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/g3doc/get_started/os_setup.md#docker-installation - which should be a nicer install process.

Note: I work for Bitfusion

We have an AMI with everything prebuilt including Jupyter.
