Setup CNTK on your machine
CNTK is easy to install on Windows (for Linux, keep reading the rest of this page).
If you have a previously installed Anaconda3 Python 3.5, that is listed before any other pythons in your PATH, then to install CNTK (for CPU only) all you need to simply type the following in your command shell:
pip install https://cntk.ai/PythonWheel/CPU-Only/cntk-2.0.beta12.0-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
You can easily fine tune your PIP installation, including information about configuring information and the easy installation of tutorials, sample and Jupyter notebooks. The details are here.
For all the other ways to install CNTK or setup the CNTK development environment, see the links to the install options below.
The Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) supports both 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Linux platforms.
You can install the complete source code of CNTK and build the binaries on your machine, but we also provide regular binary drops of the CNTK executables, including sample data and sample models.
If you just want to download and install the latest precompiled binaries to your machine, follow the instructions here:
| Windows | Linux |

| Script-driven development setup | |
| Manual development Setup | Manual Development Environment Setup |
| Migration from VS13 to VS15 |
You may use CNTK via Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine offering (Windows and Linux) or install it as a Docker container (Linux). See the corresponding sections:
