clone this proj fails

[JieFengWang]

Hi @nono927 , I notice the instructions in README.md that letting us to clone via ssh. after I try clone this proj in my ubuntu machine, it showsgit@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).

Then I tried to clone via http channel , and clone the latest Faiss library as sub-folder. The cmake cmd is fine, but the make cmd fails with lots of errors.

How can I clone and install your proj with ease, thanks.

Thank you for your report!

clone the latest Faiss library as sub-folder.

Please do not clone the latest Faiss repository and use the following command instead.

git clone --recursive https://github.com/mti-lab/rnn-descent.git

You can use the --recursive option even if you clone this repo via http.

The cmake cmd is fine, but the make cmd fails with lots of errors.

I found an error and fixed it. If you clone this repo again with the above command, the build will succeed (but lots of warning might occur).

@JieFengWang Sorry, I missed the mention

Hi @nono927 , thanks for your reply.

The default port number for ssh on my physical machine is not 22, so it failed and prompted some errors, for example:

ssh: connect to host github.com port 2345: Connection timed out
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

So I clone in ubuntu docker and it still fails （I think it has something to do with the fact that after the rnn project is cloned via http, while the submodule faiss is still cloned via ssh）:

Update info: mini_rnn a re-implementation of Faiss-free Relative NN-Descent. I re-organized the code to make it easy to run. github url
