 <span id="build-the-shared-library"></span><h2>Build the Shared Library<a class="headerlink" href="#build-the-shared-library" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
 <p>You can either use a prebuilt binary package or build from source to build the MXNet shared library - <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libmxnet.dll</span></code>.</p>

 <p>MXNet provides a prebuilt package for Windows. The prebuilt package includes the MXNet library, all of the dependent third-party libraries, a sample C++ solution for Visual Studio, and the Python installation script. To install the prebuilt package:</p>
 <ol class="simple">
 <li>Download the latest prebuilt package from the <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet/releases">Releases</a> tab of MXNet.</li>
 <li>Unpack the package into a folder, with an appropriate name, such as <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">D:\MXNet</span></code>.</li>
 <li>Open the folder, and install the package by double-clicking <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">setupenv.cmd</span></code>. This sets up all of the environment variables required by MXNet.</li>
 <li>Test the installation by opening the provided sample C++ Visual Studio solution and building it.</li>
 </ol>
 <p><p> </p>

 This produces a library called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libmxnet.dll</span></code>.</p>

 <p>To build and install MXNet yourself, you need the following dependencies. Install the required dependencies:</p>
 <ol class="simple">
 <li>If <a class="reference external" href="https://www.visualstudio.com/downloads/">Microsoft Visual Studio 2013</a> is not already installed, download and install it. You can download and install the free community edition.</li>
 <li>Install <a class="reference external" href="http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools">Visual C++ Compiler</a>.</li>
 <li>Back up all of the files in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C:\Program</span> <span class="pre">Files</span> <span class="pre">(x86)\Microsoft</span> <span class="pre">Visual</span> <span class="pre">Studio</span> <span class="pre">12.0\VC</span></code> folder to a different location.</li>

 <li>Download and install <a class="reference external" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencvlibrary/files/opencv-win/3.0.0/opencv-3.0.0.exe/download">OpenCV</a>.</li>
 <li>Unzip the OpenCV package.</li>
 <li>Set the environment variable <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpenCV_DIR</span></code> to point to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpenCV</span> <span class="pre">build</span> <span class="pre">directory</span></code>.</li>
 <li>If you don’t have the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL) installed, download and install <a class="reference external" href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/openblas/files/v0.2.14/">OpenBlas</a>.</li>
 <li>Set the environment variable <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpenBLAS_HOME</span></code> to point to the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">OpenBLAS</span></code> directory that contains the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">include</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">lib</span></code> directories. Typically, you can find the directory in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">C:\Program</span> <span class="pre">files</span> <span class="pre">(x86)\OpenBLAS\</span></code>.</li>
 <li>Download and install <a class="reference external" href="https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn">CuDNN</a>. To get access to the download link, register as an NVIDIA community user.</li>
 </ol>
 <p>After you have installed all of the required dependencies, build the MXNet source code:</p>
 <ol class="simple">
 <li>Download the MXNet source code from <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/dmlc/mxnet">GitHub</a>.</li>
 <li>Use <a class="reference external" href="https://cmake.org/">CMake</a> to create a Visual Studio solution in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./build</span></code>.</li>
 <li>In Visual Studio, open the solution file,<code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">.sln</span></code>, and compile it.
 These commands produce a library called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mxnet.dll</span></code> in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./build/Release/</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./build/Debug</span></code> folder.</li>
 </ol>
 <p><p> </p>

 Next, we install <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">graphviz</span></code> library that we use for visualizing network graphs you build on MXNet. We will also install <a class="reference external" href="http://jupyter.readthedocs.io/">Jupyter Notebook</a>  used for running MXNet tutorials and examples.</p>
 <ul class="simple">
 <li>Install <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">graphviz</span></code> by downloading MSI installer from <a class="reference external" href="https://graphviz.gitlab.io/_pages/Download/Download_windows.html">Graphviz Download Page</a>.
 <strong>Note</strong> Make sure to add graphviz executable path to PATH environment variable. Refer <a class="reference external" href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35064304/runtimeerror-make-sure-the-graphviz-executables-are-on-your-systems-path-aft">here for more details</a></li>
 <li>Install <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Jupyter</span></code> by installing <a class="reference external" href="https://www.continuum.io/downloads">Anaconda for Python 2.7</a>
 <strong>Note</strong> Do not install Anaconda for Python 3.5. MXNet has few compatibility issue with Python 3.5.</li>

 <p>To install MXNet R package on a computer with a GPU processor, you need the following:</p>
 <ul class="simple">
 <li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2013</li>
 <li>The NVidia CUDA Toolkit</li>
 <li>The MXNet package</li>
 <li>CuDNN (to provide a Deep Neural Network library)</li>
 </ul>
 <p>To install the required dependencies and install MXNet for R:</p>
 <ol class="simple">
 <li>Install the <a class="reference external" href="https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit">CUDA Toolkit</a>. The CUDA Toolkit depends on Visual Studio. To check whether your GPU is compatible with the CUDA Toolkit and for information on installing it, see NVidia’s <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-installation-guide-microsoft-windows/">CUDA Installation Guide</a>.</li>
 <li>Clone the MXNet github repo.</li>
 </ol>
 <div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>git clone --recursive https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet.git mxnet --branch 0.11.0
 </pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>The <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">--recursive</span></code> is to clone all the submodules used by MXNet. You will be editing the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">"/mxnet/R-package"</span></code> folder.</p>
 <ol class="simple">
 <li>Download prebuilt GPU-enabled MXNet libraries for Windows from https://github.com/yajiedesign/mxnet/releases. You will need <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mxnet_x64_vc14_gpu.7z</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">prebuildbase_win10_x64_vc14.7z</span></code>.</li>
 <li>Download and install <a class="reference external" href="https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn">CuDNN</a>.</li>
 <li>Create a folder called <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">R-package/inst/libs/x64</span></code>. MXNet supports only 64-bit operating systems, so you need the x64 folder.</li>
 <li>Copy the following shared libraries (.dll files) into the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">R-package/inst/libs/x64</span></code> folder:</li>
 </ol>
 <div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>cublas64_80.dll
 cudart64_80.dll
 cudnn64_5.dll
 curand64_80.dll
 libgcc_s_seh-1.dll
 libgfortran-3.dll
 libmxnet.dll
 libmxnet.lib
 libopenblas.dll
 libquadmath-0.dll
 nvrtc64_80.dll
 </pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>These dlls can be found in <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">prebuildbase_win10_x64_vc14/3rdparty/cudart</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">prebuildbase_win10_x64_vc14/3rdparty/openblas/bin</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mxnet_x64_vc14_gpu/build</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mxnet_x64_vc14_gpu/lib</span></code> and the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">cuDNN</span></code> downloaded from NVIDIA.</p>
 <ol class="simple">
 <li>Copy the header files from <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">dmlc</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">mxnet</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">nnvm</span></code> into <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">./R-package/inst/include</span></code>. It should look like:</li>

 <span class="k">cd</span> ..

 R CMD INSTALL --no-multiarch R-package

 Rscript -e <span class="s2">"require(mxnet); mxnet:::mxnet.export('R-package')"</span>
 rm R-package/NAMESPACE
 Rscript -e <span class="s2">"require(devtools); install_version('roxygen2', version = '5.0.1', repos = 'https://cloud.r-project.org/', quiet = TRUE)"</span>

 <span id="install-the-mxnet-package-for-julia"></span><h2>Install the MXNet Package for Julia<a class="headerlink" href="#install-the-mxnet-package-for-julia" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
 <p>The MXNet package for Julia is hosted in a separate repository, MXNet.jl, which is available on <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/dmlc/MXNet.jl">GitHub</a>. To use Julia binding it with an existing libmxnet installation, set the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">MXNET_HOME</span></code> environment variable by running the following command:</p>
 <div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">MXNET_HOME</span><span class="o">=</span>/<path to="">/libmxnet
 </path></pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>The path to the existing libmxnet installation should be the root directory of libmxnet. In other words, you should be able to find the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">libmxnet.so</span></code> file at <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$MXNET_HOME/lib</span></code>. For example, if the root directory of libmxnet is <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~</span></code>, you would run the following command:</p>
 <div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>    <span class="nb">export</span> <span class="nv">MXNET_HOME</span><span class="o">=</span>/~/libmxnet
 </pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>You might want to add this command to your <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">~/.bashrc</span></code> file. If you do, you can install the Julia package in the Julia console using the following command:</p>
 <div class="highlight-julia"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>    <span class="n">Pkg</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">add</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">"MXNet"</span><span class="p">)</span>
 </pre></div>

 <span id="installing-the-mxnet-package-for-scala"></span><h2>Installing the MXNet Package for Scala<a class="headerlink" href="#installing-the-mxnet-package-for-scala" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
 <p>There are four ways to install the MXNet package for Scala:</p>
 <ul class="simple">
 <li>Use the prebuilt binary package</li>
 <li>Build the library from source code</li>
 </ul>
 <div class="section" id="use-the-prebuilt-binary-package">
 <span id="use-the-prebuilt-binary-package"></span><h3>Use the Prebuilt Binary Package<a class="headerlink" href="#use-the-prebuilt-binary-package" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
 <p>For Linux and OS X (Mac) users, MXNet provides prebuilt binary packages that support computers with either GPU or CPU processors. To download and build these packages using <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Maven</span></code>, change the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">artifactId</span></code> in the following Maven dependency to match your architecture:</p>
 <div class="highlight-HTML"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">dependency</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">groupId</span><span class="p">></span>ml.dmlc.mxnet<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">groupId</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">artifactId</span><span class="p">></span>mxnet-full_<span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">system</span> <span class="na">architecture</span><span class="p">><!--</span--><span class="nt">artifactId</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">version</span><span class="p">></span>0.1.1<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">version</span><span class="p">></span>
 <span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">dependency</span><span class="p">></span>
 </span></span></span></span></pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>For example, to download and build the 64-bit CPU-only version for Linux, use:</p>
 <div class="highlight-HTML"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">dependency</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">groupId</span><span class="p">></span>ml.dmlc.mxnet<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">groupId</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">artifactId</span><span class="p">></span>mxnet-full_2.10-linux-x86_64-cpu<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">artifactId</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">version</span><span class="p">></span>0.1.1<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">version</span><span class="p">></span>
 <span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">dependency</span><span class="p">></span>
 </span></span></span></span></pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>If your native environment differs slightly from the assembly package, for example, if you use the openblas package instead of the atlas package, it’s better to use the mxnet-core package and put the compiled Java native library in your load path:</p>
 <div class="highlight-HTML"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">dependency</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">groupId</span><span class="p">></span>ml.dmlc.mxnet<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">groupId</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">artifactId</span><span class="p">></span>mxnet-core_2.10<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">artifactId</span><span class="p">></span>
   <span class="p"><</span><span class="nt">version</span><span class="p">></span>0.1.1<span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">version</span><span class="p">></span>
 <span class="p"><!--</span--><span class="nt">dependency</span><span class="p">></span>
 </span></span></span></span></pre></div>

 <span id="build-the-library-from-source-code"></span><h3>Build the Library from Source Code<a class="headerlink" href="#build-the-library-from-source-code" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
 <p>Before you build MXNet for Scala from source code, you must complete <a class="reference external" href="#build-the-shared-library">Step 1. Build the Shared Library</a>. After you build the shared library, run the following command from the MXNet source root directory to build the MXNet Scala package:</p>
 <div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>  make scalapkg
 </pre></div>
 </div>
 <p>This command creates the JAR files for the assembly, core, and example modules. It also creates the native library in the <code class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">native/{your-architecture}/target</span> <span class="pre">directory</span></code>, which you can use to cooperate with the core module.</p>
 <p>To install the MXNet Scala package into your local Maven repository, run the following command from the MXNet source root directory:</p>
 <div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>  make scalainstall
 </pre></div>
