Week 1 practice lab: Installation of packages is not working

Course Q&A Generative AI with Large Language Models

I couldn’t tag week 1 for some reason
I have been retrying installing the packages and also waited a portion of time to see if it needed time to finish downloading. Here is the code and output on my end:

And then when I run this:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer

Dear @Aksgem,

Welcome to the community!

Please try restoring the lab files first, and then restart the kernel to ensure all dependencies are properly loaded.

Hi @Girijesh,

Thank you for the welcome and the fast reply!

I redownloaded the lab files and restarted the kernel and ended up with same result of module not found and the same output on both cells.

Dear @Aksgem,

Are you working on your local environment or coursera platform?

@Girijesh
I am working from the AWS platform from the lab account from coursera.

I’m also facing the Same issue while installing : # First upgrade pip
%pip install --upgrade pip

Install tensorflow and keras first

%pip install tensorflow==2.18.0 keras==3.9.0

Install torch and torchdata

%pip install --no-deps torch==2.5.1 torchdata==0.6.0 --quiet

Then install other packages except TRL

%pip install -U
datasets==2.17.0
transformers==4.38.2
evaluate==0.4.0
rouge_score==0.1.2
peft==0.3.0 --quiet

I ran the whole Lab and all the cells ran fine for me! I am not sure where you guys might be going wrong but I would suggest to delete the current file and reload the lab with the aws s3 cp --recursive s3://dlai-generative-ai/labs-202502/w1-549876/ ./

It seems I did not wait long enough for the installation of the dependencies. Thank you for your help, @gent.spah and @Girijesh!
