What is Keras?

Keras is a tool for machine learning specialists who work with Python, mostly used due to
the convenience of mathematical calculations. Developers use Keras to create, configure, and
test machine learning and artificial intelligence systems, primarily neural networks.

What are Keras Models?


Keras works with models or schemes by which information is distributed and transformed.
Machine learning is processing information using a programmed network, where certain
conclusions are drawn based on certain data. The network structure is called a model and is
often presented as a graph, diagram, or table.

CentOS 7 can be used on various physical and virtual devices, including laptops,
embedded systems, workstations, and servers. It also supports all the major cloud
computing platforms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google
Cloud Platform (GCP)

Prerequisites for Installing Keras

 A server with root-level access


 Python installed
 Tensor Flow installed

Install Keras via Python & Tensor Flow


Install Python 3
To install Keras, Python is required to be installed on your computer since Keras is based on Python. It is
recommended to have the latest version of Python, such as Python 3 for example.

Step 1: Update the Environment


In order to make sure that we are working with the most up-to-date environment possible in terms of our
packages, we can run the following command:

[root@centos7 ~]# yum update -y

Step 2: Install Python 3 on CentOS 7


Now that the environment is up to date, all we need to do to install Python 3 is run the following command:

[root@centos7 ~]# yum install -y python3


That’s it! Python 3 is now installed! Another helpful idea to consider is that Pip (also known as Pip3), the
Python package manager for Python 3, is installed alongside the Python 3 package, so we don’t have to worry
about that as an additional installation step.
Step 3: Verify Installation
To ensure that Python 3 is installed and usable, we can drop it into a Python 3 shell by running the following
command:

[root@centos7 ~]# python3


Python 3.6.8 (default, Aug 7 2019, 17:28:10)
[GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-39)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>>
You should see the version of Python 3 installed on your system as well as a change in the command prompt
characters.

However, in some cases, you might want to have the most recent version of Python available, and that’s where
a source installation can come in handy for which we have a detailed article that covers installing Python 3 on
CentOS 7.

Install TensorFlow
TensorFlow is one of the backend engines that we need to install before Keras can be installed.

Step 1: Create a Virtual Environment


You need to create a virtual environment when installing TensorFlow. First, create a folder for your project
using the following commands:

# mkdir test
# cd test
Use the following command to create a virtual environment with Python. It creates a virtual environment
named tf-virtual-env. Replace this with your chosen name:

# python3 -m venv tf-virtual-env


Inside this environment are many pre-installed Python libraries and tools needed in the project, such as
the Package installer for Python (Pip). The following command activates the environment:

# source tf-virtual-env/bin/activate
The prompt changes in the terminal, which means you activated it successfully:

(tf-virtual-env) # _
Type deactivate at the prompt and press Enter to exit the environment.

TensorFlow requires at least version 19.0 of Pip. Use the following command to ensure you have the latest
version:

# pip install --upgrade pip

Step 2: Installing TensorFlow


This tutorial installs a version that does not use your GPU. You can install a TensorFlow version that offers
GPU support.
Use the following command to install TensorFlow without GPU support:

# pip install --upgrade tensorflow


Use the same command for updating TensorFlow.

Step 3: Test the Environment


To test your environment, open Python bash:

# python
Then, type the following command. The first line will import the TensorFlow packages into the Python
interpreter session, while the second line will print the TensorFlow version:

import tensorflow as tf

print(tf.__version__)'

Install Keras
Thanks to a new update in TensorFlow 2.0+, if you installed TensorFlow as instructed, you don’t need to install
Keras anymore because it is installed with TensorFlow.

To confirm it, open Python bash:

# python
At the prompt, run the following commands:

import keras
keras.__version__
For those using TensorFlow versions before 2.0, here are the instructions for installing Keras using Pip.

Step 1: Installing Keras


Install Keras with the following command:

pip3 install keras


The terminal shows the confirmation message once the process completes:

WARNING: Running pip as the 'root' user can result in broken permissions and conflicting behaviour with the

Step 2: Verify Installation of Keras
Verify the install of Keras by displaying the package information:

pip3 show keras


The output will be as shown below:
