吴恩达机器学习笔记(四)–MATLAB&Octave的配置
学习基于:吴恩达机器学习.
1. Installing MATLAB
MATLAB is proprietary software but a free, limited license is being offered for the completion of this course.
- MathWorks is providing you access to MATLAB for use in your coursework. When planning your activity, please note that access is valid for the length of the course (12 weeks).
- Step 1: Enter your email to create a MathWorks account if you do not have one.
- Step 2: Use this link again to download and install. You may need to log-in to your MathWorks account that you created in Step 1. After starting the installer, accept all defaults and log-in to your MathWorks account when prompted.
- For more MATLAB resources:
- At the MATLAB command line, typing help followed by a function name displays documentation for a built-in function. For example, help plot will bring up help information for plotting. Further documentation can be found at the MATLAB documentation pages.
- MathWorks also has a series of videos about various MATLAB features:
2. Installing Octave
Octave is a free, open-source application available for many platforms. It has a text interface and an experimental graphical one.
1) Installing Octave on Windows
- Use this link to install Octave for windows
2) Installing Octave on GNU/Linux
- On Ubuntu, you can use:
sudo apt - get install octave
- On Fedora, you can use:
sudo yum install octave - forge
- For more Octave resources:
- At the Octave command line, typing help followed by a function name displays documentation for a built-in function. For example, help plot will bring up help information for plotting. Further documentation can be found at the Octave documentation pages.
