In what program/interface do I run the following code?

Question

For a project on machine learning/NLP I am looking at some code from github on roBERTa. I wanted to see if I could get the same results and then modify the program to fit my own data.

However, I have no idea on how/where/using what program to run the following code:

export COMVE_DIR=/path/to/COMVE_data_dir 
export OUTPUT_DIR=/path/to/output_dir 
python3 ./run_taskB.py \
  --model_type bert \
  --task_name swag \
  --model_name_or_path bert-base-uncased\
  --do_train \
  --do_eval \
  --do_test \
  --data_dir $COMVE_DIR \
  --learning_rate 5e-5 \
  --num_train_epochs 3 \
  --max_seq_length 80 \
  --output_dir $OUTPUT_DIR \
  --per_gpu_eval_batch_size=8 \
  --per_gpu_train_batch_size=8 \
  --gradient_accumulation_steps 2 \
  --overwrite_output > results.csv

I have tried multiple programs / terminal / jupyter but can't seem to find out how to run this code properly. Does anybody know how to run it? (I understand I have to change the directories in the first lines etc, but only getting errors right now.)

This looks like Bash code, but in isolation it probably won't do very much. It requires that you have Python 3 and a number of libraries installed.

But if you have already satisfied the prerequisites, try this at a bash$ prompt near you, in the directory where you have the file run_taskB.py
