Google Magenta Setup on linux

July 16, 2016 Magenta update caused changes, that have been repaired.


Using Tensorflow Version 0.9 and Magenta I have made a github site with bash files to automatically install and run what is needed to get a starting point with Google's Deep Learning Neural Network Artificial Intelligence software on a Linux machine, tested on Ubuntu versions 14.04 and 15.10

My github site is at

https://github.com/hpssjellis/google-magenta-midi-music-on-linux-hello-world


after cloning the repository

git clone https://github.com/hpssjellis/google-magenta-midi-music-on-linux-hello-world.git



then enter the directory

cd google-magenta-midi-music-on-linux-hello-world


bash setup.sh

And the bash scripts do the rest: install Bazel, Tensorflow and Magenta then activate the bash file a01-helloworld.sh

To activate the other bash files you need to migrate to the magenta main folder


cd ~/mymagenta/magenta


Then activate the other bash files. example

bash a01-rnn_basic.sh






Note the other two bash file a02... and a03... have other useful abilities.



Presently trying to get Magenta working on Cloud 9 http://c9.io so windows users can try installing it on a virtual online ubuntu box,
but the free Cloud9 does not allow the approximate 3Gb of storage needed. Not really sure if people would pay the $19.00 / month to be able to play around with Machine Learning Music. Write a comment if you would.

Use at your own risk!
