Hi Sid,

glad you’re enjoying Lambda Stack.

  1. There currently is not a guide to using Lambda Stack. To get started, just boot up a python REPL and go:
$ python

You’ll note that with a Lambda Stack install, TensorFlow, Torch, and Caffe are all installed with full GPU support.

TensorFlow

>>> import tensorflow as tf
>>> s = tf.Session()

PyTorch

>>> import torch

Caffe

>>> import caffe
  1. To list the installed packages you can use the apt-cache depends command. Unless you feel very confident in your linux system administration abilities, I would recommend you keep all of the installed packages. That said, here’s a semi-complete list. You’ll definitely want to keep all of the hard dependencies of each package you want. Simply type sudo apt-cache depends <package_name>. You’ll then know what packages you can’t remove.
$ sudo apt-cache depends lambda-stack-cuda
lambda-stack-cuda
