If you want to get started with a Linux AWS instance that has PyTorch already installed and that you can login into from the command-line, this step-by-step guide will help you do that.

1. Sign into your [AWS console](https://aws.amazon.com/console/). If you do not have an AWS account, see the [primer](#aws-primer) below.

1. Click on `Launch a virtual machine`.

1. Select `Deep Learning AMI (Ubuntu)`.

> This gives you an instance with a pre-defined version of PyTorch already installed. If you wanted a bare AWS instance that required PyTorch to be installed, you could choose the `Deep Learning Base AMI (Ubuntu)`, which will have the hardware, but none of the software already available.

1. You can choose any of the available instances to try PyTorch, even the *free-tier*, but it is recommended for best performance that you get a *GPU compute* or *Compute optimized* instance. For example, a GPU compute `p3.2xlarge` is a good instance type for PyTorch.

> Other instance options include the Compute Optimized c5-series (e.g., `c5.2xlarge`) or the General Compute t2-series or t3-series (e.g., `t2.2xlarge`). It is important to note that if you choose an instance without a GPU, PyTorch will only be running in CPU compute mode, and operations may take much, much longer.
