Ubuntu Installation

General dependencies

sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libboost-all-dev

CUDA: Install via the NVIDIA package instead of apt-get to be certain of the library and driver versions. Install the library and latest driver separately; the driver bundled with the library is usually out-of-date. This can be skipped for CPU-only installation.

BLAS: install ATLAS by sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev or install OpenBLAS or MKL for better CPU performance.

Python (optional): if you use the default Python you will need to sudo apt-get install the python-devpackage to have the Python headers for building the pycaffe interface.

Remaining dependencies, 14.04

Everything is packaged in 14.04.

sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev liblmdb-dev

Remaining dependencies, 12.04

These dependencies need manual installation in 12.04.

# glog

wget https://google-glog.googlecode.com/files/glog-0.3.3.tar.gz

tar zxvf glog-0.3.3.tar.gz

cd glog-0.3.3

./configure

make && make install

# gflags

wget https://github.com/schuhschuh/gflags/archive/master.zip

unzip master.zip

cd gflags-master

mkdir build && cd build

export CXXFLAGS="-fPIC" && cmake .. && make VERBOSE=1

make && make install

# lmdb

git clone https://github.com/LMDB/lmdb

cd lmdb/libraries/liblmdb

make && make install

Note that glog does not compile with the most recent gflags version (2.1), so before that is resolved you will need to build with glog first.

Continue with compilation.
