Overview
The purpose of this homework is to make sure you've got a development environment set up so you can write and test code for the remaining assignments. Your development environment includes:
- The proper version of Python (namely 2.7)
- Installation of necessary libraries (e.g. Pandas, NumPy, etc.)
- Installation of historical stock data.
Important note: We use a specific, static set of data for this course. If you download your own data from Yahoo, you will get the wrong answers on the assignments.
Task
You should:
- Follow installation instructions here: ML4T Software Installation to set up a virtual machine.
- Test your environment by running the script validate_env.py from the ml4t/ directory
- If it complains, fix the problems, then repeat
Copy and save the output of validate_env.py in a text file named validate_env.txt
What to turn in
- Submit the output of validate_env.py as validate_env.txt via t-square. It is very important that you use exactly that filename.
