Building Caffe

DIGITS requires a build of Caffe. We officially only support recent releases from NVIDIA/caffe (NVcaffe), but any recent build of BVLC/caffe will probably work too.

Dependencies

Before Caffe can be build, Protobuf 3 needs to be build. Follow this guide to build Protobuf 3

For best performance, you'll want:

Install some dependencies with Deb packages:

sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends build-essential cmake git gfortran libatlas-base-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-thread-dev libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev libhdf5-serial-dev libleveldb-dev liblmdb-dev libopencv-dev libsnappy-dev python-all-dev python-dev python-h5py python-matplotlib python-numpy python-opencv python-pil python-pip python-pydot python-scipy python-skimage python-sklearn

Download source

DIGITS is currently compatiable with Caffe 0.15

# example location - can be customized
export CAFFE_ROOT=~/caffe
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/caffe.git $CAFFE_ROOT -b 'caffe-0.15'

Setting the CAFFE_ROOT environment variable will help DIGITS automatically detect your Caffe installation, but this is optional.

Python packages

Several PyPI packages need to be installed:

sudo pip install -r $CAFFE_ROOT/python/requirements.txt

If you hit some errors about missing imports, then use this command to install the packages in order (see discussion here):

cat $CAFFE_ROOT/python/requirements.txt | xargs -n1 sudo pip install

Build

We recommend using CMake to configure Caffe rather than the raw Makefile build for automatic dependency detection:

cd $CAFFE_ROOT
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j"$(nproc)"
make install
