Setting up your environment

In this section, we will set up a virtual environment for our coding exercise and questions using the following steps:

1. Clone the repository by going into the directory of your choice and running the following command in the Git Bash command line:

git clone https://github.com/Packt-Publishing/Hands-on-One-Shot-Learning.git

2. Go to the Chapter01 directory of the cloned repository:

cd Hands-on-One-Shot-Learning/Chapter01

3. Then, open a Terminal and use the following command to install Anaconda for Python, version 3.6 (https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/), and create a virtual environment:

conda create --name environment_name python=3.6

In steps 3 and 4, you can replace environment_name with an easy name to remember, such as one_shot, or a name of your choice.

4. Activate the environment using the following command:

source activate environment_name...
