installing caffe in windows 10

Hi When i want to import caffe i will face with this error: Failed to include caffe_pb2, things might go wrong! Traceback (most recent call last): File "" , line 1, in File "C:\caffe-windows\caffe-windows\python\caffe__init__.py" , line 4, in from .proto.caffe_pb2 import TRAIN, TEST File "C:\caffe-windows\caffe-windows\python\caffe\proto\caffe_pb2.py" , line 6, in from google.protobuf.internal import enum_type_wrapper ImportError: No module named 'google'

Steps to reproduce

If you are having difficulty building Caffe or training a model, please ask the caffe-users mailing list. If you are reporting a build error that seems to be due to a bug in Caffe, please attach your build configuration (either Makefile.config or CMakeCache.txt) and the output of the make (or cmake) command.

Your system configuration

Operating system: win 10 Compiler: anaconda CMakeCache.txt

CUDA version (if applicable):6 CUDNN version (if applicable):8 BLAS: Python or MATLAB version (for pycaffe and matcaffe respectively):3.5

To me this looks like you installed an incompatible python protobuf. You should install python protobuf 3.1.0.

thanks it seems it is not the last version i should install. it downloaded it but it does not have anything for windows(setup file)is there any help?

willyd I have done the instruction in your link but still not working ): Should I use make to compile it before ? In windows ?

@stavBodik You need to compile caffe of course. On windows you can use the VS or Ninja Generators but not make. I personnally recommand ninja since it will build much faster than VS. However, it can be a bit confusing for new comers that are more used to VS.

If you want to beta test a very simple solution you can try my latest unofficial vcpkg port like so:

With VS 2017 and CUDA 9 installed open a cmd prompt and type:

git clone https://github.com/willyd/vcpkg.git
cd vcpkg
git checkout caffe
bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
# for a CPU only build
vcpkg install caffe --triplet x64-windows
# for a GPU build
vcpkg install caffe[cuda] --triplet x64-windows --featurepackages

This won't build the python bindings though, I will include them later.

@stavBodik, I recently found another alternative to build Caffe on Windows though did not really check if Python bindings work: http://github.com/dividiti/ck-caffe . Seems like they try to provide a common front-end to build Caffe across Linux, Windows and MacOS. Following their instructions you should be able to build Caffe like this:

> pip install ck
> ck pull repo --url=https://github.com/dividiti/ck-caffe
> ck install package:lib-caffe-bvlc-master-cuda-universal --env.CAFFE_BUILD_PYTHON=ON
> ck run program:caffe

Thanks guys !

The main problem is that caffe don't really give instructions for newb people(who use windows, and don't know what is make or using command line like in linux)... for example newb question :

"I heard Caffe is python framework for AI why we should compile it, it is python?"

Or at least caffe could say that we should compile and only then copy to site-packages or upload the pre -compiled version...

any way I Found solution , so before copying the python/caffe folder to site-packages , use this repository for simple compile and build caffe for windows :

https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows/scripts

Just run "build_win.cmd" file with correct configurations, THIS SCRIPT WILL BUILD THE C++ PROJECTS(using cmake / ninja / visual studio cl.exe or whatever) AND WILL CREATE DLL FILES INSIDE "python/caffe" folder ...sounds better no ? ... Now you can copy this folder with the DLL's needed for python to run caffe into "site-packages" folder where Anaconda or Python installed in your windows , now you can test it by writing import caffe in python (:

ck install package:lib-caffe-bvlc-master-cuda-universal --env.CAFFE_BUILD_PYTHON=ON

I ran this line in my MS VC2017 Command Prompt, I go these: C:\Project Caffe>ck install package:lib-caffe-bvlc-master-cuda-universal --env.CAFFE_BUILD_PYTHON=ON

Hi @captkkk - thanks for reporting this bug - I believe I just fixed it. Can you please try to update repositories and try again:

$ ck pull repo:ck-env
$ ck install package:lib-caffe-bvlc-master-cuda-universal --env.CAFFE_BUILD_PYTHON=ON

BTW, I don't know if there is a support in latest Caffe for Boost 1.66.0, so I would suggest you to install "lib-boost-1.65.1-min-for-caffe", i.e.

$ ck install package:lib-boost-1.65.1-min-for-caffe

and then restart Caffe build ... Also, I didn't check the latest Caffe with CK workflow on Windows for a few months, so will check it too and will tell you if I encounter some issues ...

Thanks!

@captkkk - I just managed to build package:lib-caffe-bvlc-master-cuda-universal via CK on a clean environment so it should be working fine.

However, note that I still couldn't build Caffe (this package) with the latest Microsoft C compiler "19.11.25547" . I remember someone already reported issues with that so I hope someone will still fix cmake for Caffe. I used "Microsoft C compiler 19.00.24215.1" and it worked fine.

Also, I had to fix Boost Include path and convert to CYGWIN format. You just need to pull latest changes and refresh CK virtual env:

$ ck pull all
$ ck refresh env

You still need to install some missing deps for your Python via pip (numpy, scipy, protobuf, google, scikit-image) and then Python Caffe seems to be working (at least I can do "import caffe" but I didn't have time to check it further). You can run CK virtual env for a test (after you build Caffe via CK):

D:\>ck virtual env --tags=python

Warning: you are in a new shell with a pre-set CK environment. Enter "exit" to return to the original one!

D:\>ck virtual env --tags=lib,caffe

@captkkk - I reproduced your problem - seems that the latest GitHub version of LMDB is now broken for Windows :( . I will open an issue there. In the mean time, you can install stable LMDB 0.9.21 (I just checked and it works on Windows):

$ ck install package:lib-lmdb-0.9.21

then restart your Caffe build ...

BTW, I just updated my Visual Studio compiler and have the same version as yours now:

Will also try to check later if it's possible to build Caffe with this version ... Cheers!

@captkkk - I also removed sm_2x CUDA arch from cmake via patch in the CK package since CUDA 9.x complains about that. You can update your CK environment using:

$ ck pull all

Also notice that latest VS 2017 still has issues with CUDA 9+. I managed to fix part of it using the solution described here (changing host_config.h): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43745099/using-cuda-with-visual-studio-2017. You can test if your nvcc works with you VS 2017 as following:

$ ck compile program:tool-print-cuda-devices
$ ck run program:tool-print-cuda-devices

However, I still didn't manage to compile Caffe on Windows with the latest VS 2017 and CUDA 9.2:

My solution is to use previous version of VS as was suggested at different forums. If anyone knows another solution, please tell me so that I could update CK packages. Thanks!
