In preparation of our workshop Make-your-own Small AI, here’s a few tasks you can do in advance:
To write the scripts that will run our language model, we need a text editor. Anything from wikipedia.org/wiki/list_of_text_editors will do → VS Code, Pulsar, TextMate (MacOS), and NotePad (Windows) are my own favorites.
Python is the language we use to code our scripts. Go to python.org/downloads and download the latest version of Python3.
In the installation wizard, don’t forget to allow Python’s use of your “PATH” directory. That’s how we will be able to call python commands from the terminal.
Open your terminal (aka command line interface) and check if python is installed by asking for its version:
Type python --version and press <Enter>. You should get a result similar to the image on the right.
⚠ If this doesn’t work, rerun your python installation, making sure you add Python to PATH during the installation.
⚠⚠ If it still doesn’t work, read here how to add Python to PATH manually.
if python doesn’t work, try py or python3. They sometimes lead to different versions.
If this still doesn’t work, you can meet me on Thursday 15 minutes before the workshop.
See you theeere 👋
