Unclear dependencies in readme #2

Closed tommituura closed 8 years ago

tommituura commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to follow the instructions to install the dependencies:

  1. Install torch7.
  2. Install luarocks: class, image, tds, cudnn

But none of those luarocks can be found, at least on luarocks.org, AFAICT: https://luarocks.org/search?q=class https://luarocks.org/search?q=image https://luarocks.org/search?q=tds https://luarocks.org/search?q=cudnn

Please bear in mind I have absolutely zero experience with Lua or Luarocks, I'm a python/ruby coder mostly. I might very well just be ignorant of some basic information every Lua coder knows by heart that has been omitted as "obvious".

Hi tommituura,

My suggestion is to follow the instruction here: http://torch.ch/docs/getting-started.html#_

Make sure you have torch installed, then install dependencies using luarocks.

apetresc commented 8 years ago

The problem isn't getting luarocks installed, it's that there are no luarocks modules with those names (class, image, tds, or cudnn).

soumith commented 8 years ago

@apetresc if you specifically install torch, and invoke the luarocks that is shipped with torch, then those packages are available. We host our own rocks server here: https://github.com/torch/rocks

Ah, gotcha! That explains it, thanks :)
