You Should Know: Practical AI/ML Commands & Tools

1. Setting Up an AI Development Environment

  • Linux/Mac:
    Install Python and pip 
    sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
    
    Set up a virtual environment 
    python3 -m venv ai_env 
    source ai_env/bin/activate
    
    Install Jupyter Notebook for AI prototyping 
    pip install jupyter numpy pandas scikit-learn tensorflow 
    

  • Windows (PowerShell):

    Install Chocolatey (package manager) 
    Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force 
    iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
    
    Install Python and Jupyter 
    choco install python jupyter 
    

2. Running Your First ML Model

 Sample Python code for a linear regression model 
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression 
import numpy as np

Sample data 
X = np.array([[bash], [bash], [bash]]) 
y = np.array([2, 4, 6])

Train the model 
model = LinearRegression().fit(X, y) 
print(f"Prediction for X=4: {model.predict([[bash]])}") 

3. Azure AI CLI Integration

 Install Azure CLI 
curl -sL https://aka.ms/InstallAzureCLIDeb | sudo bash

Login and deploy an AI service 
az login 
az ml workspace create -n MyAIWorkspace -g MyResourceGroup 

4. Docker for AI Reproducibility

 Pull a pre-built ML Docker image 
docker pull tensorflow/tensorflow:latest

Run a Jupyter server in Docker 
docker run -p 8888:8888 tensorflow/tensorflow:latest-jupyter 

What Undercode Say

The AI Skills Fest is a golden opportunity to dive into AI with structured guidance. Complement event learnings with hands-on practice:
– Use Linux commands (grep, awk) to clean datasets.
– Automate workflows with Cron jobs (e.g., 0 python /path/to/ai_script.py).
– Explore Windows WSL for seamless Linux/Windows AI development.
– Leverage Git (`git clone https://github.com/microsoft/ai.git`) for collaborative projects.

Expected Output:

Prediction for X=4: [8.]
