Installing AutoKeras

In the following sections, we will explain in detail the different options that exist for installing AutoKeras and how to configure each one step by step.

There are two options to choose when installing AutoKeras: we can install it in a local workstation or we can install it in the cloud. Each of the two options has its pros and cons that we will analyze throughout this chapter.

Installing AutoKeras in the cloud

In the cloud, we have opted for two options: install it on an Amazon Web Services (AWS) instance/container, or use Google Colaboratory. In both cases, we will connect to the cloud instance using Jupyter notebooks from a web browser, as shown in the following screenshot. We just need a computer with an internet connection to run the notebooks:
