Setup

FastAI.jl is a Julia package. You can download Julia from the official website . You can install FastAI.jl like any other Julia package using the REPL as follows.

			
			
			
			using
			
			 
			Pkg
			

			
			
			Pkg
			.
			
			add
			(
			
			"
			FastAI
			"
			)

Visualization Aside from text-based visualizations, FastAI.jl also defines Makie.jl plotting recipes to visualize data. If you want to use them, you'll have to install and one of the Makie.jl backends CairoMakie.jl , GLMakie.jl or WGLMakie.jl and load the package.

			
			
			# Install backend package once
			

			
			using
			
			 
			Pkg
			

			
			
			Pkg
			.
			
			add
			(
			
			"
			CairoMakie
			"
			)
			

			

			# Then load it therafter
			

			
			import
			
			 
			CairoMakie
			

			
			using
			
			 

	
			FastAI

Colab If you don't have access to a GPU or want to try out FastAI.jl without installing Julia, try out this FastAI.jl Colab notebook . We're working on adding a "Launch Colab" button to every documentation page based off a notebook file, but for now you can copy the code over manually.

Threaded data loading To make use of multi-threaded data loading, you need to start Julia with multiple threads, either with the -t auto commandline flag or by setting the environment variable JULIA_NUM_THREADS. See the IJulia.jl documentation for instructions on setting these for Jupyter notebook kernels.
