I am trying to install caffe, but ran into the following error

sudo apt-get install caffe-cpu
[sudo] password for : 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package caffe-cpu

This is my version:

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:   xenial

I tried following the instructions here https://chunml.github.io/ChunML.github.io/project/Installing-Caffe-CPU-Only/

Got

CXX src/caffe/test/test_hdf5_output_layer.cpp
In file included from src/caffe/test/test_hdf5_output_layer.cpp:8:0:

    That is because it is not in the repositories. See: https://chunml.github.io/ChunML.github.io/project/Installing-Caffe-CPU-Only/ – Terrance Jul 19 '18 at 14:37
  • Can you please check out my edits above? I am still getting stuck... – Baron Yugovich Jul 19 '18 at 15:15
  • See: https://gist.github.com/nikitametha/c54e1abecff7ab53896270509da80215 and go down to where it says to resolve the hdf5 errors. – Terrance Jul 19 '18 at 15:42
  • Thanks for the help! Now getting a different error, please see edit above. – Baron Yugovich Jul 19 '18 at 16:28
  • Go back to the link and make sure that all the required applications are installed. – Terrance Jul 19 '18 at 16:31
  • Will do, thanks. Btw, how do I check my blas version? Tried

    grep OPENBLAS_VERSION /usr/local/include/openblas_config.h grep: /usr/local/include/openblas_config.h: No such file or directory

     – Baron Yugovich Jul 19 '18 at 16:33
  • Now I am getting this error

    CXX src/caffe/layer_factory.cpp LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lopencv_imgcodecs collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

    even though I do have opencv:

    sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev python-opencv Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree
    Reading state information... Done libopencv-dev is already the newest version (2.4.9.1+dfsg-1.5ubuntu1). python-opencv is already the newest version (2.4.9.1+dfsg-1.5ubuntu1). 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

  • Try running sudo ldconfig on your system to fix any ld errors. Beyond that, I am out of suggestions. I have never set this up before and this is why I have not written an answer. The links were only suggestions to follow. I wish I was more help. – Terrance Jul 19 '18 at 16:47
  • No, it's been great, I wouldn't have gotten this far without you, thank you so much! I will try that and report back. Is it not an opencv issue though? – Baron Yugovich Jul 19 '18 at 16:48
  • Thank you so much Terrance, thanks to your advice I was finally able to do it! – Baron Yugovich Jul 19 '18 at 17:23
  • Glad you got it working! =) – Terrance Jul 19 '18 at 17:24

I found the best way to get up and running is to use conda. This way allows you to have many different caffe environments. First install miniconda, then make an environment

conda create -n caffe

then

conda install caffe

OR

conda install caffe-gpu

Not only does conda solve all the dependencies but it also installs the correct version of cudatoolkit and cudnn. And if you want python 2 you can

conda create -n python2Caffe-GPU python=2.7

conda install caffe-gpu=1.0=py27heda4471_3

The variable, py27heda4471_3, is the build version and you have many to choose from

conda search caffe-gpu

gives a list
