Welcome to the world of Artificial Intelligence where algorithms power our day-to-day technologies! If you’re eager to dive deeper and explore the code, you’ve come to the right place. In this blog, we’ll walk you through setting up and utilizing the supporting code for the book Grokking Artificial Intelligence Algorithms by Rishal Hurbans.

Requirements

• Python Version: Make sure you have Python 3.7.0 or higher.
• Pip Version: Pip 3 should be installed to manage packages.

Setting Up Your Environment

To ensure a smooth sailing through the algorithms explained in the book, follow these steps:

1. Install Python

If you haven’t yet installed Python, go ahead and download Python here.

2. Install Pip

Pip usually gets installed with Python on macOS and Windows. However, if you’re using Linux, follow the commands below:

• For Ubuntu or Debian: sudo apt-get install python3-pip
• For Fedora: sudo yum install python3-pip

3. Clone the Repository

Navigate to your terminal or command prompt and clone the repository using:

git clone https://github.com/rishal-hurbans/Grokking-Artificial-Intelligence-Algorithms-Nep/blob/main/Grokking_Artificial_Intelligence_Algorithms_Notebook.ipynb

4. Install Dependency Libraries

Once inside the cloned directory, install the required libraries with the following command:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

5. Run Your Preferred Example

To run a specific example, navigate to its directory and execute:

python3 file_name.py

Understanding the Code: An Analogy

Imagine that programming is like building a beautiful structure. Each line of code is a brick that contributes to the final creation. Some bricks are strong and supportive, while others add aesthetic value. The algorithms discussed in “Grokking Artificial Intelligence Algorithms” are akin to architectural designs. They enable you to build intelligent systems much like an architect designs a structure that stands strong while serving its purpose. Just as an architect would need to understand the materials to ensure stability, you will benefit from grasping these algorithms effectively, ensuring your structures (your AI models) are both functional and elegant!

Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues while setting up or running the examples, consider the following steps:

• Python Version Check: Ensure you’re using Python 3.7.0 or higher by typing python3 –version in your terminal.
• Pip Installation: Check if Pip is installed with pip3 –version. If not, follow the commands provided above to install it based on your Linux distribution.
• Dependency Issues: If pip3 encounters package conflicts, try upgrading pip with pip3 install –upgrade pip.
• Example Not Found: Double-check the filename when running your scripts. Ensure you are in the correct directory before executing the command.
