# AI Development Setup Kit



## Overview



The **AI Development Setup Kit** script is a PowerShell tool designed to automate the setup of an AI development environment on Windows. It simplifies the installation of essential tools, libraries, and dependencies required for AI and machine learning development. The script checks system requirements, installs necessary dependencies, and provides an interactive menu for selecting and installing components such as NVIDIA drivers, CUDA Toolkit, Miniconda, and other development tools. It is designed to be run as an administrator and generates a detailed setup report upon completion.



---



## Features



- **System Requirements Check**: Ensures the system meets the minimum requirements for AI development.

- **Dependency Installation**: Automatically installs required dependencies such as .NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable, and PowerShell modules.

- **Interactive Component Selection**: Provides a user-friendly menu for selecting components to install.

- **Chocolatey Integration**: Uses Chocolatey, a package manager for Windows, to install common software packages.

- **Miniconda Setup**: Optionally sets up a Miniconda environment for AI development, including popular Python libraries like PyTorch and scikit-learn.

- **Detailed Setup Report**: Generates a comprehensive report with installation details and post-installation instructions.

## Prerequisites



Before running the script, ensure the following:



1. **Windows 10 or later**: The script requires Windows 10 or later.

2. **Administrator Privileges**: The script must be run as an administrator.

3. **Internet Connection**: The script downloads necessary files from the internet.

## Installation



1. **Download the Script**:

   - Save the script as `AiDevKit.ps1` on your local machine.

   - Alternatively, clone the repository (if available) to access the script.



2. **Run the Script**:

   - Open PowerShell as an administrator.

   - Navigate to the directory where the script is saved.

   - Run the script using the following command:

     ```powershell

     .\AiDevKit.ps1

     ```

## Usage



### Step 1: System Requirements Check

The script will first check if your system meets the minimum requirements, including:

- Windows version (must be Windows 10 or later).

- Administrator privileges.

- Required PowerShell modules and dependencies.



### Step 2: Component Selection

You will be presented with an interactive menu to select the components you want to install. Use the arrow keys to navigate and the spacebar to select/deselect components. Press **Enter** when done.



### Step 3: Installation

The script will proceed to install the selected components. This includes:

- Installing Chocolatey (if not already installed).

- Downloading and installing NVIDIA drivers, CUDA Toolkit, Miniconda, and other selected tools.



### Step 4: Miniconda Setup (Optional)

If Miniconda is selected, the script will:

- Install Miniconda3.

- Prompt you to set up an AI development environment.

- Install Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch, and CUDA Toolkit (if applicable).



### Step 5: Completion

Once the installation is complete:

- A setup report (`setup_report.txt`) will be saved to your desktop.

- The script will prompt you to restart your computer to complete the installation.
