I need help setting up the environment to run the downloaded “Lab Files” using VS code or Google Colab. Is there any article or thread that describes the steps?

Hi @nehakinjal

​There isn’t a universal article about the exact steps to set up and run notebooks, as the process heavily depends on the specific contents and requirements of those files.You must first obtain all the necessary lab files. If you get any errors during setup or execution, solve each one of them based on its specific error message.

Hope it helps! feel free to ask if you need further assistance.

Here is a thread about how to convert to Colab. It is not guaranteed to be complete for all possible cases, but it will get you started. The larger point here is that you need to develop your own problem solving skills to play this type of game. Of course there are lots of resources available to you when you hit a problem (StackExchange etc …).

Yes I understand my VS code setup was not working, it kept failing to see python packages I have installed. So was looking for recommendations. Colab setup works so I’m good for now.
