02. install libraries

Install python libraries for all code exercises in this lesson

Hi friends! The code exercises use zipline, and it takes 8 to 9 minutes to install the packages the first time you get to the first jupyter notebook. To help limit your wait on the installation during your first code exercise, please run the installation now in a separate tab. So, open this page in a new tab on your browser, and run the cell in the notebook below:

import sys
!{sys.executable} -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Continue on with the next video while it's installing. By the time you get to the first coding exercise, if the installation has finished, you'll be able to work on the exercise without waiting for the installation to complete. You should only have to wait once for the installation for all the coding exercises in this lesson. After that, your workspace should have all the libraries installed as you get to the later code exercises.

If you notice that you're waiting 8 to 9 minutes on the pip install code cell for every code exercise, please add a ticket to the waffleboard https://waffle.io/udacity/aitnd-issues so that I can follow up. Thanks, and happy studying!

Troubleshooting

Note, if you're seeing a message that says "404", please click on the orange jupyter icon to see the directory of all notebooks. Then go to the bottom and choose "menu" -> "reset data".

Workspace

This section contains either a workspace (it can be a Jupyter Notebook workspace or an online code editor work space, etc.) and it cannot be automatically downloaded to be generated here. Please access the classroom with your account and manually download the workspace to your local machine. Note that for some courses, Udacity upload the workspace files onto https://github.com/udacity , so you may be able to download them there.

Workspace Information:

  • Default file path:
  • Workspace type: jupyter
  • Opened files (when workspace is loaded): n/a
