The package Digits requires an environment variable to be set with the location of Caffe install directory.

The simple way to install Caffe is apt-get install caffe-cuda. However, I can't figure out where it is installed. It is not installed in the home directory, and dpkg -L caffe-cuda shows only a few files in /usr/share/doc.

Any ideas?

  • which caffe, what does this command returns? – Eliethesaiyan Mar 05 '18 at 06:14
  • which caffe returns /usr/bin/caffe. I set CAFFE_ROOT to this location and still get the error that Digits cannot find a valid caffe installation. This file persists even though I apt-get remove caffe-cuda. Seems like I'm going to have to do a build of caffe in my home directory. – Chuck Carlson Mar 06 '18 at 03:37
  • how did you install digits? you should use the apt-get install digits too – Eliethesaiyan Mar 06 '18 at 05:17

  • I did not use apt-get for Digits. The install link sets CUDA_REPO_PKG for which there is a package for Ubuntu 17.04. see http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/. However, for setting ML_REPO_PKG there is no Ubuntu 17.04. See http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/machine-learning/repos/. So I don't know what to do. – Chuck Carlson Mar 06 '18 at 18:11
  • have you tried...16.04,it might be compatible!i`d suggest to install them the same way since they will take care of global variables like $CAFFE_ROOT if you use apt get – Eliethesaiyan Mar 07 '18 at 01:03

    I just trie 16.04 and had a lot of errors. Will wait till they get a 17.04 version available. In the mean time, I got the docker digits running. Thanks for your help. – Chuck Carlson Mar 07 '18 at 17:22

The following command may help you:

find / -name "*caffe*"

The result on colaboratory is not allowed by stackoverflow to paste here, because stackoverflow mistake it by code.

Since you are installing caffe through sudo apt-get install all the binaries and libraries will be put to default locations and the caffe path will be added. Now, u can use caffe through cmd directly from any directory.

Hope it helps!!
