8.17 Installation

Keras and Tensorflow can be installed relatively simply from within R/Rstudio. Python is running in the background and at some point (if it’s not installed already) you will be asked “Would you like to download and install Miniconda?”. Simply answer “Y”.

# Install Keras
install.packages("keras")              
# Check if it works
library(keras)     

# If not python installed install this as well
  # No non-system installation of Python could be found.
  # Would you like to download and install Miniconda?
  # Would you like to install Miniconda? [Y/n]: Y -> YES!

# Check tensorflow installation (if not install)
  # tensorflow::install_tensorflow()
library(tensorflow)

# Restart R/Rstudio

Restart R studio after the installation!
