Setup And Runtime Notes

Course: Advanced Deep Learning with PyTorch

Runtime Needed

• Python 3.11 or newer
• Packages listed in starter-files/requirements.txt
• CPU execution is enough for the starter check; GPU setup is optional and should be treated as an advanced local environment choice.

Local Setup

From the course folder:

python3 -m venv .venv
. .venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install -r starter-files/requirements.txt
python starter-files/runtime_check_pytorch.py

The runtime check should print a small tensor output from a neural network. The course is not framework-QA complete until the check passes in a clean environment.

Quality Rule

Do not submit or publish a result until the limitation line is filled in. A useful result is still incomplete if the learner cannot say where it may fail.
