Date: September 15, 2024

Prerequisites: I bought a 1T external SSD and created this tutorial using the external hard drive. I am using a windows computer. This is where the tutorial begins.

• Change directory to D drive
  $D:

• create directory on external SSD titled version of python and pip I'm using

$mkdir python312
$cd python312
$mkdir Scripts

• install python and pip file from website. Save in python312 directory and install virtual environment with command:
  $pip install virtualenv

• verify it's working by checking the version

python --version
pip --version
virtualenv --version

• Create virtual environment. Tool is called virtualenv. Name of the virtual env. is my_venv.
• Next command "python" invokes interpreter. -m runs module as script. venv module is invoked and my_venv is name of virtual environment

$ virtualenv my_venv
$python -m venv my_venv

• Activate virtual environment

$.\my_venv\Scripts\activate

• Install Transformers, datasets, and pytourch

$pip install transformers
$pip install datasets
$pip install torch
$pip install tensorflow

• install Visual Studio from Microsoft website to edit python files and create python files
• Open Visual Studio Installer
• Select Modify and add Python development by checking the box

• click modify

• in Scripts directory create new application in visual studios. Save in script file in D drive. Name "roberta_hugging_face" and save solution and project in same directory

add code to file:

from transformers import pipeline

# Load the sentiment analysis pipeline
sentiment_pipeline = pipeline("sentiment-analysis")

# Perform sentiment analysis
result = sentiment_pipeline("Hugging Face is creating amazing tools for NLP!")
print(result)

• run file. You should be in:

D:\python312\Scripts\roberta_hugging_face

$python roberta_hugging_face.py

• install backward compatible package and retry running
  $pip install tf-keras
  $python roberta_hugging_face.py

• When download is complete you will see the result for the pipeline "Hugging Face is creating amazing tools for NLP!"

• To deactivate
  $deactivate

• Safely disconnect SSD
