Incubator-mxnet: Anaconda mxnet package

[RogerBorras]

I have some problems to install mxnet in ubuntu 16.04 with anaconda. Can you provide an easily build packages for conda, and upload them to anaconda.org? It will be very usefull for python conda users I think, and more easy to install... Thanks for your amazing mxnet library and for you effort!!

I wrote a build script for creating Anaconda package for linux:
https://github.com/pjmtdw/mxnet-conda-builder
It can build Python 2.7 and 3.5 package, also with cuDNN.

And here's the repository:
https://anaconda.org/pjmtdw/mxnet

cuDNN one is here:
https://anaconda.org/pjmtdw/mxnet-cudnn

You can install mxnet using conda install -c pjmtdw mxnet=0.9.3

I hope someday there would be official repository for Anaconda.

Many thanks @pjmtdw !!

The installation i correct in my anaconda installation. But when I import the library, I have this error:

>>> import mxnet as mx Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/roger/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mxnet/__init__.py", line 7, in <module> from .base import MXNetError File "/home/roger/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mxnet/base.py", line 43, in <module> _LIB = _load_lib() File "/home/roger/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mxnet/base.py", line 35, in _load_lib lib = ctypes.CDLL(lib_path[0], ctypes.RTLD_GLOBAL) File "/home/roger/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/ctypes/__init__.py", line 347, in __init__ self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) OSError: /home/roger/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mxnet/../../../libgomp.so.1: versionGOMP_4.0' not found (required by /home/roger/anaconda3/lib/python3.5/site-packages/mxnet/libmxnet.so)

Do you now what happes?

[pjmtdw]

Yes, your libgcc is old. try conda install libgcc=5.2.0

I'm searching for a method to force this from dependency.

[pjmtdw]

added libgcc >=5.2.0 for dependency. so this should not happen anymore.

@pjmtdw Great job, thanks a lot!

[RogerBorras]

@pjmtdw is possible to provide the same conda installer for windows users?

[pjmtdw]

@RogerBorras I will give a try: https://github.com/pjmtdw/mxnet-conda-builder/issues/3

@pjmtdw thanks for making the anaconda package. Are you still maintaining them?

[pjmtdw]

@szha sorry for being late, I updated the mxnet package for anaconda to version 0.10.0.
https://anaconda.org/pjmtdw/mxnet
https://anaconda.org/pjmtdw/mxnet-cudnn

If you are speaking about anaconda package for Windows,
since I'm not so familiar with Windows, it is hard for me to create it.

This issue is closed due to lack of activity in the last 90 days. Feel free to ping me to reopen if this is still an active issue. Thanks!

@pjmtdw Could you add the support for 1.0.0? Thank you!

@jiagengliu
Yes, I'was struggling to support it. but got stuck a little bit according to compile error. Maybe takes time.
