Terna's development notes

Caffe Installation

macOS (Sierra 10.12.6)

Clone caffe into the home folder then create a CAFFEROOT environment variable by running the following command or placing this into your .bashrc or .zshrc or whatever script is run when your terminal launches;

export CAFFEROOT=$HOME/caffe # caffe is in the home directory, $HOME`.

vecLib (this is no longer necessary)

After running cmake .. <args>, edit CMakeCache.txt by finding the line pointing cmake to vecLib that begins with vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR and modify it as follows;

vecLib_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/Current/Frameworks/vecLib.framework/Headers

python3 - The Winning Formula for macOS 💉

• Forget anaconda. Use brew to install python3. I used 3.6.3, the default at the time.
• Install all the dependencies listed in caffe/python/requirements.txt.
• Install boost-python with brew.
• Edit the CMakeLists.txt and set python_version to 3. Run cmake.
• Edit CMakeCache.txt and set Boost_PYTHON-PY363_LIBRARY_RELEASE;

Boost_PYTHON-PY363_LIBRARY_RELEASE=/usr/local/Cellar/boost-python/1.65.1/lib/libboost_python3.dylib

Also use the following if necessary;

PYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/libpython3.6m.dylib 
PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.6.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/include/python3.6m

• Set the environment variable PYTHONPATH to $CAFFEROOT/python or run python from within that folder.
