1.Software Environment

The required software are listed below:

• python 2.7 
• ipython 
• scipy
• numpy
• matplotlib
• pillow
• h5py
• scikit-learn
  
• tensorflow

It is recommanded to use linux or mac osx operating sytem. I use ubuntu 16.04. If you use different version of operating system, the command lines below may not work.

To set up  software environment, you might need additional packages:

• pip
• git
  

You can get all these packages installed easily via command line "sudo apt-get install ...(name of the packages) " or  "sudo pip install ... (package names)".  It may also help to protect your system from unexpected mistakes by setting up a virtual environments. The simple tutorial for setting up a virtual environment can be found in the link:
