That’s not what we said. Tom specifically said that it’s great that you are trying this sort of thing. We can give you links to material that we think is helpful, but if you want to succeed at this beyond the context of this course, it is not a good strategy to assume that someone else will solve all your problems for you. For example, [here’s a thread](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/dls-1-my-own-project-in-pycharm/74781/4) which talks about how to set up your local environment so that it duplicates the environment of the courses in terms of versions of things. As you can see, it’s not a simple matter. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/c2w2a1-optimization-methods/532362)._
