• Update NVIDIA GPU driver: https://www.nvidia.com.tw/Download/index.aspx
• Install CUDA Toolkit: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads
• Install cuDNN packages: https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-archive
• Install Tensorflow

pip3 install tensorflow

Java

• Oracle JDK on all platforms, including Windows x64 / Linux (Debian/Ubuntu) / MacOS

  

  • Lastest version https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/
  • Previous Long-Term Support (LTS) versions could be found below:
    • JDK17 https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/jdk17-archive-downloads.html
    • JDK11 https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-jdk11-downloads.html
    • JDK8 https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/javase-jdk8-downloads.html
      
      

  For Eclipse users, uncheck the button "Create module-info.java file" when you are creating a new Java project. You can delete the file "module-info.java" if it appears in the project.

  For your information, JDK8 is the most popular version of JDKs; you may need JDK17 (at least) when the IDE installation asks you to do so.

• Popular IDEs are listed below:

  • Eclipse https://www.eclipse.org/
    
  • IntelliJ IDEA https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/
    
  
  

  The ultimate version is not free but offering you more useful automation tools when you are working with the Spring framework or so on.

  • Visual Studio Code https://code.visualstudio.com/
    

  • NetBeans https://netbeans.org/
    

  • BlueJ https://www.bluej.org/
