Error with CAFFE?!

AI & Data Science Deep Learning (Training & Inference) DIGITS (Locked)

When i try to run digits, this message appears. I have spent the past 5 hours researching and trying to fix it. What should i do?

A valid Caffe installation was not found on your system.
Use the envvar CAFFE_ROOT to indicate a valid installation.

Thanks,

Did you download Digits from NGC? How did you launch digits?

3

in terminal i typed…

cd digits

sudo ./digits-devserver

4

How did you install Digits?

5

from the website

6

Please download Digits from https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/containers/nvidia%2Fdigits.
The instruction should guide you toward launch.

7

so redownload digits?

8

Please launch Digits server per instruction given at https://ngc.nvidia.com/catalog/containers/nvidia%2Fdigits

ok thank you

Hi,
I have the same error. When I start the server, there are a message about Caffe support disabled. I reinstaled many times. I try install with source and docker. The same error.

There are two DIGITS containers in each release. One includes tensorflow while the other one includes caffe. Please pull the caffe version of DIGITS. For example, the following command pulls the 19.01 release of DIGITS caffe container.

docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/digits:19.01-caffe

13

Hi,

I pulled the DIGITS 19.04.caffe container successfully using:

docker pull nvcr.io/nvidia/digits:19.04-caffe

but when I attempt to run the container image:

nvidia-docker run -it --rm -v local_dir:container_dir nvcr.io/nvidia/digits:19.04-caffe

I get:

bash: nvidia-docker: command not found

How can I fix this?

Your docker installation was correct. However, in order to run nvidia-docker, you need to install something additional. Please see if you have nvidia docker runtime installed. This quickstart shall help you properly configure your host environment (GitHub - NVIDIA/nvidia-docker: Build and run Docker containers leveraging NVIDIA GPUs).

Please try to use docker run --runtime=nvidia instead of nvidia-docker run in the future.

15

Thank you…I followed the configuration instructions you provided (GitHub - NVIDIA/nvidia-docker: Build and run Docker containers leveraging NVIDIA GPUs) for Ubuntu 14.04/16.04/18.04

when I get to this step:

sudo apt-get install -y nvidia-docker2

I get:

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package nvidia-docker2

Earlier on in the process, when I ran,

sudo apt-get purge -y nvidia-docker

I got:

Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package nvidia-docker

Appreciate your help

Likely your docker was the default version of Ubuntu. Can you check the docker version and maybe you need to pin a specific version of Docker ([url]Frequently Asked Questions · NVIDIA/nvidia-docker Wiki · GitHub)?

BTW, this seems to be a docker issue, not a DIGITS issue. It’s better to ask in our container technology forum.

Thanks…I will ask in the container technology forum.

A video walkthrough of natively installing NVIDIA DIGITS on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is available here:

I personally have no desire to use a container or anything else to get DIGITS up and running. It is just another layer of complication that I don’t need. I already have enough moving parts as it is. Even to do a native install, there is a long list of requirements.

I was able to successfully follow the tutorials here: GitHub - dusty-nv/jetson-inference: Hello AI World guide to deploying deep-learning inference networks and deep vision primitives with TensorRT and NVIDIA Jetson. once NVIDIA DIGITS was installed natively.

Hope this helps!
