Generate melody with basic_rnn

[EvilMudkip]

Hi,

I'm trying to generate a basic melody using the code shown in the tutorial, and I've got 2 questions. Note I'm a beginner, hence my questions may be really simple.

1. When I type in Python:
   BUNDLE_PATH=<E:\Storage\Documents\FEI_AI\magenta\BUNDLES>
   It returns Syntax Error,pointing at '<'

So I used:
BUNDLE_PATH='E:\Storage\Documents\FEI_AI\magenta\BUNDLES'
It proceeds without error. But is it correct? Same goes with the next line involving CONFIG.

2. After typing:
   melody_rnn_generate \
   I typed:
   --config=${CONFIG}
   It returns Invalid Syntax, and points at '$'.

Need advice, thank you!

you should type --config='basic_rnn'

@mbs6176966 It returns syntax error.

I tried typing the whole thing out, but I still get an error...

[Calvin-Shen]

you should type all command in one line,don't copy and paste,try this way!!! not using "\"

Hi, I tried typing them all in one line, but the same error still shows up...

[Calvin-Shen]

have you been in magenta environment? run the command like:"source activate magenta" in your terminal. you should not run the python.

@mbs6176966 Thanks for the guidance, but a new error comes up:

'melody_rnn_generate' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[Calvin-Shen]

ok~,have nerver encountered this problem! but run the python file may help. just like "python /Users/calvin/Desktop/magenta-master/magenta/models/melody_rnn/melody_rnn_generate.py -config='basic_rnn' --bundle_file=/Users/calvin/Desktop/mag/basic_rnn.mag --output_dir=/Users/calvin/Desktop/ --num_outputs=1 --num_steps=128 --primer_melody="[60]" "

[Calvin-Shen]

run the python file melody_rnn_generate.py in melody_rnn attached the args "--config ....."

@mbs6176966 Hi, I've tried your suggestion, but now an error comes up:

And the error code is:

Intel MKL FATAL ERROR: Cannot load mkl_intel_thread.dll.

That appears to be an issue with the MKL library on Windows. I'm not familiar with exactly what the issue is, but you could try uninstalling MKL with the instructions here: https://docs.anaconda.com/mkl-optimizations/

@cghawthorne Hi, I'm not able to remove mkl on Windows, since nomkl is not available on Windows. If I remove mkl completely, the error will ask for numpy to be installed. if I type conda install numpy mkl will be installed along with numpy.

[cghawthorne]

Hmm, I'm not really sure. You could try using a non-Ananconda Python build or maybe ask on the Anaconda issue tracker.
