Hello all,
is there a notebook available which does not require a google account? Currently, I need to modify code in the notebook which is not found in the sections “start coding here” → “end coding here”. And this will cause issues with the grading - I assume.
I am not allowed to use any google account on my business PC.
It would be sad to unenroll from this course only because of a google account :(.
Many thanks
Dennis
Hello @Dennis_Linke maybe you can try using incognito mode to sign in into your Google account.
Hope this helps.
Hello @Dennis_Linke ,
I understand your issue.
Unfortunately, without Google account you cannot work on Google colab.
But where there is a will there is a way! I am happy to see your will to do it against odds.
I am providing you with some alternatives below:
-
Download Jupyter. Install necessary libraries. Then work.
You can also try in other IDEs like VS code with Jupyter Extension, Sublime text, Pycharm.
Then upload and submit your file.
-
Use Virtual Machine that that allows you to run a different os on your computer. Then you can use Google colab there.
If software downloading is not allowed at all,
- Colab Alternatives - You can use Jupyter Lab link → JupyterLite. Probably this will be there best solution for you.
- download notebook from the coursera course link
- Upload notebook in jupyter lab.
- work here.
- download the file.
- upload it to coursera assignment submission place.
- You can ask a friend or someone in your circle if possible, to let u use his/her laptop for few hours using a Guest windows account.

@balaji.ambresh is this website creating model or app building? Can you tell me about this website which Nilosree mentioned.
Thank you

hey Nilosree,
I am trying to do an assignment which requires Jupiter notebook with python version 3.8.
Can I use the link you provided here for the same assignment, as I don’t want to download python other version due to compatibility issue with my MacBook.
Thank you again for your inputs!!

Hello @Deepti_Prasad ,
I haven’t used paperspace personally yet.
Since our senior mentor @balaji.ambresh Sir has suggested the workspace, it will work surely, you can use the link.
And you can check this link of documentation to get started : Notebooks Tutorial | Paperspace
Btw I remember in the meeting you had some issues with a different work environment of TF-AT . (In case if it seems challenging to adapt in a new workspace, you can use Google colab in which you are already good and accustomed to.)

Hello Nilosree,
I wasnt asking about paperspace. I was asking about Jupiterlyte. Anyways, I have got the interphase for the assignment.
Also for the meeting the question was not about TF-AT :), it was about TF Data and Deployment which again is now resolved by the QA team. I didn’t have issue with the new workspace. I only was asking Gio why do we have to use so many different interphase. But Data and Deployment requires different workspace as it requires converting files which I have eventually understood. But had to wait long to resolve that issue.
Thank you for your suggestions

I understand that python version mismatch across projects is your concern. Try conda / venv since they can help isolate project dependencies by using virtual environments.
Already using Balaji 
but this particular assignment had an issue of web browser not working with the updated chrome browser from their end which the QA resolved or gave a different solution which worked. I have cleared the assignment.

Which cell in the assignment had trouble with the web browser?
The issue is solved. It was for TF Data and Deployment Specialisation. they have told to use python terminal and then use the chrome developer tool. Web Browser is not working for this assignment. Chris Favila guided.
Currently for one of the course assignment I needed Jupyter with python 3 version for the assignment to work, which again has issue with the versions, for which they stated they are working on it. So I wanted to try from my end to resolve myself. So wanted to use JupyterLite, for that I asked the question to Nilosree as she suggested here. But I download Jupyter notebook through python terminal and now it is working.
