Hi,everyone. I am setting DIGITS system on my host PC. When I installed NVcaffe, I encounter some questions. Here is error information:

I have tried a whole day, but still cannot find the solution. If you have encounter the similar problems, hope you can help me solve the problem.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Could you follow this document to install? We can build Caffe with cmake configure.
https://github.com/NVIDIA/DIGITS/blob/master/docs/BuildCaffe.md#build

cd $CAFFE_ROOT
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j"$(nproc)"
make install

Thanks.

AastaLLL, this afternoon I have solved the above problem:

The caffe branch 0.15 is too old, we changed it to 0.17;
When we implemented the ‘make’ commond, it always informed “protoc or protobuf” error, it always used the protobuf package of Anoconda3. Finally, we used the commond “conda deactivate”, switched the environment, the “protoc or protobuf” error disappeared.

But, I encountered another problem:“Tensorflow support disabled.”

The digits-devserver can open, but when I created the MINST dataset, an error emerged. The error is showed as the picture:

Job Status Error

Tensorflow support disabled.

(Sorry, I want to show you the picture, but it seems the picture cann’t upload here)

Could you please tell what’s wrong with my DIGITS system, waiting for your reply. Thanks.

Hi,

DIGITs will enable TensorFlow support if the TensorFlow-gpu is installed in the system.
Please check if you can import TensorFlow like this:

import tensorflow

Thanks.
