  "content": "<p>Hello. I am new to data science. I have learnt how to use many methods such as the ensemble method, logistic regression, knn and so on. I have started learning neural network but I can't install Tensorflow on my 32 bits system (since Tensorflow is not compatible with 32 bits). I don't have money to get another pc for now. I tried to use google cloud in hope that I may have access to Tensorflow on it but Google cloud was hopelessly slow. It couldn't even complete the running of my first line of code throughout the day! My first line of code was 'import numpy as np'.</p>\n<p>My question is, is there a way round this? Is it possible to somehow install Tensorflow in cloud and  access it on my pc? I want to keep learning until I am able to purchase another laptop (64 bits). I will appreciate any suggestions from you guys. Thanks. </p>\n<p>Note: I read something on how to instal Tensorflow from source on stack exchange but the writer says the effort will not be worth it as one would not be able to do much with it because of space requirements.</p>\n<p>Note: I don't know much about the cloud yet. All I know is that it can be a place to store large files.</p>",
