If I can use Google Colaboratory for free, then do I need to install Jupyter Notebook locally on my machine? #2

Hello, I have a really very bad computer which I bought nearly 5 years ago. Deep learning tools need very high processing power to train models. Is it possible to rely on Google Collab only or I need to install tools locally? If I can use Google Collab, do I need to install any tools on this platform as sir shown in the class using Jupyter Notebook, or they are already installed there by default?

With google Colab you dont need to install any tools all are in Colab and you might need to use pip install command to install modules in collab.

1.Yes you can work with colab without installing absolutely anything in your system unless you want to work with your custom setup.

2.No you can't. "By default" You can't install packages of your own also you can't change the version of the packages (aka dependencies) as far as I know. You need to tweak to do that. I have worked with it long ago. So the drawback is You have to use the pre-added packages on colab.

Google Colab would be more than enough. Also don't forget to save checkpoints before going afk/ closing project. https://colab.research.google.com/github/tensorflow/docs/blob/master/site/en/tutorials/keras/save_and_load.ipynb#scrollTo=mRyd5qQQIXZm
