Summary

Many deep learning teams have software that depends on Ubuntu 16.04 (and not 18.04), which has some quirks with the TensorBook, requiring a tutorial to install from scratch. To start, download an ISO of Ubuntu 16.04.5 or greater and burn it onto a USB drive, then boot off the USB drive by pressing [Del] during the boot sequence. Select Install Ubuntu in the GRUB menu and modify the linux line with specific settings before hitting F10 to boot. Perform a normal installation of Ubuntu 16.04.5, followed by installing Lambda Stack using a command that updates the repository and installs necessary packages. With these steps complete, you should now have a working TensorBook installed with Ubuntu 16.04.5 and Lambda Stack.
