If you want to use Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS):
- First determine your path to Visual studio (like: "c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0"). Take that path and create an environment variable named MYVSPATH.
set MYVSPATH=thePathToVSDescribedAbove. - If you have a source install, make sure you have set PYTHONPATH from here:
- Next get the path to your CNTK installation:
- If you have a binary install, (take a look in c:\local). For example if you installed CNTK 2.7, you would have a path like: c:\local\CNTK-2-7-Windows-64bit-GPU. Take that path and create an environment variable named MYCNTKPATH:
set MYCNTKPATH=thePathToCNTKDescribedAbove. - If you have a source install, find the path just above where you cloned. That is just above the cntk dir. Take that path and create an environment variable named MYCNTKPATH:
set MYCNTKPATH=thePathToCNTKDescribedAbove. - Next Setup your environment with
%MYVSPATH%\vc\vcvarsall.bat amd64. - Next depending on your install type:
- If you have a binary install update your PATH environment with
set PATH=%MYCNTKPATH%\cntk\cntk;%PATH%. - If you have a source install, and built Release, do
set PATH=%MYCNTKPATH%\cntk\x64\Release;%PATH%. If you built something different than Release, specify that instead. - Then open Visual Studio with
%MYVSPATH%\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe - In VS, go to Tools -> Python Tools -> Python Environments and create a new environment (by clicking on the "+Custom" button).
- Select Configure from the dropdown menu and set the prefix path to the environment dir inside Anaconda. If you did a binary install, this path is likely to be:
C:\local\Anaconda3-4.1.1-Windows-x86_64\envs\cntk-py35\. - Afterwards, click Auto Detect and the rest of the entries will be filled out automatically.
- In Visual Studio, create a new Empty Python project
- Add in your Python file(s).
- If you have a source install, to get IntelliSense, add in the full Python lib dir as a part of your project at: MYCNTKPATH%\CNTK\bindings\python
