Setting up a Custom Instance on Microsoft Azure for Training (works with the ML-Agents toolkit v0.3)

This page contains instructions for setting up a custom Virtual Machine on Microsoft Azure so you can running ML-Agents training in the cloud.

Start by deploying an Azure VM with Ubuntu Linux (tests were done with 16.04 LTS). To use GPU support, use a N-Series VM.
SSH into your VM.
Start with the following commands to install the Nvidia driver:

wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/tesla/375.66/nvidia-diag-driver-local-repo-ubuntu1604_375.66-1_amd64.deb 

sudo dpkg -i nvidia-diag-driver-local-repo-ubuntu1604_375.66-1_amd64.deb 

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get install cuda-drivers 

sudo reboot

After a minute you should be able to reconnect to your VM and install the CUDA toolkit:

wget https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu1604/x86_64/cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb 

sudo dpkg -i cuda-repo-ubuntu1604_8.0.61-1_amd64.deb 

sudo apt-get update 

sudo apt-get install cuda-8-0

You'll next need to download cuDNN from the Nvidia developer site. This requires a registered account.
Navigate to http://developer.nvidia.com and create an account and verify it.
Download (to your own computer) cuDNN from this url.
Copy the deb package to your VM: scp libcudnn6_6.0.21-1+cuda8.0_amd64.deb <VMUserName>@<VMIPAddress>:libcudnn6_6.0.21-1+cuda8.0_amd64.deb
SSH back to your VM and execute the following:

sudo dpkg -i libcudnn6_6.0.21-1+cuda8.0_amd64.deb 

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda/lib64/:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
. ~/.profile 

sudo reboot

After a minute, you should be able to SSH back into your VM. After doing so, run the following:

sudo apt install python-pip 
sudo apt install python3-pip

At this point, you need to install TensorFlow. The version you install should be tied to if you are using GPU to train:

pip3 install tensorflow-gpu==1.4.0 keras==2.0.6

Or CPU to train:

pip3 install tensorflow==1.4.0 keras==2.0.6

You'll then need to install additional dependencies:

pip3 install pillow 
pip3 install numpy 
pip3 install docopt

You can now return to the main Azure instruction page.
