Follow these instructions to get set up with a SageMaker notebook environment and to clone the workshop code repository.

Use the search bar in the top of the console to open the Amazon SageMaker Console.

• From the SageMaker Console, click Amazon SageMaker Studio in the left sidebar menu
• Create your SageMaker Domain
• Select the quick set up creation
• Click Open Studio next to your username to open SageMaker Studio

A new tab will open to the SageMaker Studio UI for your user, as shown below.

Note If you see a loading screen when opening Studio for the first time, don't worry: This initial process can sometimes take a few minutes to complete. If it's been longer than ~5 minutes, try refreshing the tab or closing it and clicking Open Studio again.

In the "Launcher" tab, scroll down to "Image Terminal" and click on it.

In the terminal window, type the following command:

git clone https://github.com/MichaelDasseville/Autogluon-Workshop.git

Once done, you should see the workshop code in the folder sidebar. Double Click the workshop folder.

Open the notebook Tabular_data_example.ipynb (Double click it). You are prompeted to select a Notebook Environment. Choose: PyTorch 1.12 Python 3.8 CPU Optimized

You will see an indication that the notebook kernel is starting. Wait few minutes for the process to finish.

Congratulations!! You are now ready to tackle the labs!
