# clone repo and enter its dir, then
pipenv run pip install tensorflow
pipenv install
pipenv shell


# had tried with tensorflow-gpu, using:
sudo apt install libcublas9.1
pipenv run pip install tensorflow-gpu
# but it fails because it needs libcublas10.x, which doesn't seem to be available for Ubuntu 18.04 (as of 2019-03-17). Per docs, could either change tensorflow version or somehow get/build libcublas10.x. For now I'm just punting to using non-gpu tensorflow.
