Right. So you basically have three choices:

1. Just run on the course website and be happy.
2. Figure out how to duplicate all the versions of the various packages that were used in this assignment. Note that a) this is not easy to do and b) it may be different for DLS or other courses. There are no official instructions for that, but [here is a thread](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/dls-1-my-own-project-in-pycharm/74781/4) with some pointers to get you started down this long and winding road.
3. Debug each and every such “versionitis” incompatibility that you encounter and fix the code. There are also no instructions for how to do that and you’re on your own basically. It’s fine to ask for help, but the mentors are not required to help with questions that are not really related to the course materials. You may get lucky and other fellow students have solved the same problem (as in that thread I linked above), but there is no guarantee of help.
