How to install Theano on Anaconda Python 2.7 x64 on Windows?

I installed Anaconda 2 and followed the steps and I can import theano, however once in a while I get a windows crash message window on python crash similar to this:

python.exe crashes when importing `theano`

I have done "conda install mingw libpython" step.

Also when I run theano.test() I get this warning:

pycuda import failed in theano.misc.pycuda_init.

Overall I think there were some more steps in the windows installation page regarding visual studio, and other modules. I have visual studio 2012 installed by microsoft.

  • I just uninstalled anaconda and did the steps exactly as specified in the link above. Still I get a warning on theano.test() as: pycuda import failed in theano.misc.pycuda_init. – user6182502 Apr 10 '16 at 00:27
  • have you set your theano flag? – malioboro Apr 11 '16 at 09:20
  • How do you set up the flag and what is it used for? – user6182502 Apr 15 '16 at 01:30

Did you follow the theano install instructions fully?

On windows 7 x64, I would advise to either use Canopy from Enthought, which, if you are a student , you can get the complete package for free.

Or, i also used WinPython before, it worked fine. Although you have to follow all steps, including :

Installing Windows Software Development Kit version 7.1 or you can install the newest Visual Studio which comes with it and it comes with an option to install Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7

Installing TDM GCC

But be sure to check

You might wanna check if you missed any steps.

I had problems with Anaconda and Theano before. So i gave up on using it. However a friend had success with it and Theano as well.

Just be sure you have your environment and python setup installed properly prior to theano install.

Doing 

where gcc
where gendef
where cl
where nvcc

on the Command Prompt Might reveal something...

Be sure to have installed Windows SDK and last visual studio.
