+# CS482-Fine_Tuning_Language_Models
+
+I elected to use an Anaconda Virtual Environment, although that decision will likely change in the near future.
+
+If you don't have Anaconda installed you can download it from here: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/index.html
+
+With Anaconda installed, we then make a new conda environment using the command <conda create --name your_env_name>
+
+https://conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/user-guide/tasks/manage-environments.html
+
+We then intall the following packages:
+
+  PyTorch
+   
+  Transformers
+  
+I already have PyTorch installed, but to download PyTorch into your conda virtual environment,
+
+activate your virtual environment using the command <conda activate your_env_name>,
+
+then run the command <conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio -c pytorch>
+
+For Transformers you can use the command <conda install -c conda-forge transformers> (REMEMBER TO
+INSTALL PACKAGES IN YOUR VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT ONLY)
+
+I did not have Transformers installed yet, so below is a screenshot of me downloading and installing
+the package into my Conda Virtual Environment called "base"

+
+Below are screenshots that confirm PyTorch and Transformers are installed in the Conda environment "base"
