1.1 Quick Cheatsheet

Run the following script with sudo:

#!/bin/bash

# general dependencies
apt-get --yes --force-yes install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler
apt-get --yes --force-yes install --no-install-recommends libboost-all-dev


# CUDA: skipped


# install openBLAS
apt-get install git python-dev gfortran
mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS
cd OpenBLAS
make FC=gfortran
make PREFIX=/opt/openblas install
sh -c "echo '/opt/openblas/lib/' > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openblas.conf"
ldconfig


# install Python headers
apt-get --yes --force-yes install python-dev


# remaining dependencies
apt-get --yes --force-yes install libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev liblmdb-dev


# install caffe
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/BVLC/caffe
cd caffe
cp Makefile.config.example Makefile.config
sed -i "s/\(BLAS *:= *\).*/\1open/" Makefile.config
sed -i "s/\(# BLAS_INCLUDE *:= *\).*/BLAS_INCLUDE := \/opt\/openblas\/include/" Makefile.config
sed -i "s/\(# BLAS_LIB *:= *\).*/BLAS_LIB := \/opt\/openblas\/lib/" Makefile.config

make all -j8
make test
make runtest

You should expect a console outcome like this:

• If you want to use caffe module in python, run make pycaffe in the root folder of caffe.
  • If you face a problem like this ‘kEmptyString’ is not a member of ‘google::protobuf::internal’, run protoc --version to check your protobuff version is 2.6.1.
  • If you still see an error ImportError: No module named caffe, add this line export PYTHONPATH=/$CaffeRoot/python to your ~/.bashrc, and run source ~/.bashrc then.
