mxnet

• Get ck repo $ ck pull repo:ck-mxnet
• Follow the instruction: here

The installation via pip fails*. So install it via new package

ck install package:lib-incubator-mxnet

(*)

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement mxnet==0.11.0 (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for mxnet==0.11.0

[gfursin]

Seems that there is no mxnet package for ARM available via pip ... That's why version 0.11.0 (or any other) fails ...

[fvella]

@gfursin I confirm that! There is not mxnet package for ARM.

[gfursin]

We can later add custom.py in this package, check ARM target and fail nicely, but I don't have time for that right now ...

How to install llvm via apt and detecting via CK. sudo apt-get install llvm-4.0 clang-4.0 ck detect soft:compiler.llvm

[fvella]

All the packages and programs have been converted into ck... I am writing the ReadMe. After the test, I will close the issue.
