Solution 2

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

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

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

sudo apt-get install caffe-cpu

That is because it is not in the repositories. See: chunml.github.io/ChunML.github.io/project/…

Can you please check out my edits above? I am still getting stuck...
Terrance almost 6 years

See: gist.github.com/nikitametha/c54e1abecff7ab53896270509da80215 and go down to where it says to resolve the hdf5 errors.

Thanks for the help! Now getting a different error, please see edit above.
Terrance almost 6 years

Go back to the link and make sure that all the required applications are installed.
Baron Yugovich almost 6 years

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

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...

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.
Baron Yugovich almost 6 years

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 almost 6 years

Thank you so much Terrance, thanks to your advice I was finally able to do it!
Terrance almost 6 years

Glad you got it working! =)

Baron Yugovich almost 6 years

so just do sudo apt-get upgrade first, or you've got other suggestions?

caffe-cpu has got a lot of dependencies that are also only in the default Ubuntu repositories for Ubuntu 18.04 and later.
Baron Yugovich almost 6 years

A friend of mine has 18.04, and got the same error. What's going on?
Baron Yugovich almost 6 years

Nope, getting the same error on 18.04 as well.
