From dd51ed7d2e457ec002cea11ce41c0a904ca9c568 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Odd28 Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2018 13:19:58 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] Update python dependency installation specifications. This modifies that python dependencies installation instructions due to the http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ no longer hosting the version of python packages required by digits. By alternatively installing the packages via conda and setting the environment variable to use conda as the default python install as well as package manager, python dependency installation of older versions of the packages is viable. --- docs/BuildDigitsWindows.md | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) diff --git a/docs/BuildDigitsWindows.md b/docs/BuildDigitsWindows.md index 3f33e6a31..a3857528a 100644 --- a/docs/BuildDigitsWindows.md +++ b/docs/BuildDigitsWindows.md @@ -49,6 +49,11 @@ After that compiler is installed, finish the above python -m pip install command At this moment, do not install gevent yet. We need to install it after installing DIGITS. +However, these .whl installation method is no longer recommended. This is due to the vesion of the python packages supported by digits such as specified in the requirements.txt file (~\digits\requirements.txt) are nomlonger hosted there. Therefore, it's much better to install it via Conda. Follow the instructions at https://conda.io/docs/user-guide/install/windows.html . During installation , please configure that anaconda is added to PATH and is recognized as a pythonpath. +Afterwards, intall the python packages according to the requirements.txt file by using the +conda install (packagename)=(packageversion) +command in CMD, running as administrator. That way, it's simpler and you would be able to install the suitable version. + ### CUDA 7.5 CUDA 7.5 can be obtained at NVIDIA CUDA (https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads).
