DC to EDGE course installation instructions

[Ibrahim__Aya]

Hi all,

I got access to DevCloud to do the coursework of DC to EDGE course. I connected via Jupyter and from home, I opened a new terminal in my browser.

import cv2 didn't work until I swapped steps 1 and 3. I also had to create the conda environment in a compute node to avoid exceeding resource limit on the login node. 

Following the installation instructions in the course, I did the following:

(base) uxxxxxxxx@s001-n117:~$conda update conda

>> "EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target environment."

(base) uxxxxxxxx@s001-n117:~$conda env create -f DC\ to\ Edge\ Course/Notebooks/environment.yml

(base) uxxxxxxxx@s001-n117:~$ conda activate tf_training
(tf_training) uxxxxxxx@s001-n117:~$ conda update conda

PackageNotInstalledError: Package is not installed in prefix.
  prefix: /home/u36948/.conda/envs/tf_training
  package name: conda

Hi ,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

"conda update conda" is not mandatory step. 

Could you please let us know , are you able to run jupyter notebook without error ?

Hi,

Could you please let us know whether the issue is resolved now? 

[Ibrahim__Aya]

yes, it is already running after doing the conda update as a last step. However, if this update is not done, I am not able to run the Notebook. So, I think it is not optional
