Requirements
We have tested this maintenance release (v1.1) with the following configuration:
- Python 3.5.2
- Jupyter 4.4.0
- Tensorflow 1.10
- Keras 2.2.2
Kudos to Mitra (https://github.com/MitraDarja) for making our code conform with Keras 2.2.2!
Earlier releases
For the original release (v1.0) we used the following configuration of the libraries which were available at the time:
- Python 3.5.2
- Jupyter 4.3.0
- Tensorflow 1.2.1
- Keras 2.0.5
To revert to such a environment we suggest using virtualenv (https://virtualenv.pypa.io):
virtualenv -p python3 env
source env/bin/activate
pip3 install -vI keras==2.0.5
pip3 install jupyter matplotlib numpy tensorflow-gpu tqdm seaborn
