# Installing MXNet on CentOS and other non-Ubuntu Linux systems

1. Install build tools and git on `CentOS >= 7` and `Fedora >= 19`:

```bash
sudo yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" && sudo yum install -y git
```

2. Install Atlas:

```bash
sudo yum install atlas-devel
```

Installing both `git` and `cmake` or `make` by following instructions on the websites is
straightforward. Here we provide the instructions to build `gcc-4.8` from source codes.

3. Install the 32-bit `libc` with one of the following system-specific commands:

```bash
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev-i386 # In Ubuntu
sudo yum install glibc-devel.i686   # In RHEL (Red Hat Linux)
sudo yum install glibc-devel.i386   # In CentOS 5.8
sudo yum install glibc-devel.i686   # In CentOS 6/7
```

4. Download and extract the `gcc` source code with the prerequisites:

```bash
wget http://mirrors.concertpass.com/gcc/releases/gcc-4.8.5/gcc-4.8.5.tar.gz
tar -zxf gcc-4.8.5.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.8.5
./contrib/download_prerequisites
```

5. Build `gcc` by using 10 threads and then install to `/usr/local`

```bash
mkdir release && cd release
../configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-languages=c,c++
make -j10
sudo make install
```

6. Add the lib path to your configure file such as `~/.bashrc`:

```bash
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib64
```

7. Build [OpenBLAS from source](https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS#installation-from-source).

8. Build OpenCV

To build OpenCV from source code, you need the [cmake](https://cmake.org) library.

* If you don't have cmake or if your version of cmake is earlier than 3.6.1, run the following commands to install a newer version of cmake:

   ```bash
   wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.6/cmake-3.6.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
   tar -zxvf cmake-3.6.1-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz
   alias cmake="cmake-3.6.1-Linux-x86_64/bin/cmake"
   ```

* To download and extract the OpenCV source code, run the following commands:

   ```bash
   wget https://codeload.github.com/opencv/opencv/zip/2.4.13
   unzip 2.4.13
   cd opencv-2.4.13
   mkdir release
   cd release/
   ```

* Build OpenCV. The following commands build OpenCV with 10 threads. We
   disabled GPU support, which might significantly slow down an MXNet program
   running on a GPU processor. It also disables 1394 which might generate a
   warning. Then install it on `/usr/local`.

   ```bash
   cmake -D BUILD_opencv_gpu=OFF -D WITH_CUDA=OFF -D WITH_1394=OFF -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local ..
   make -j10
   sudo make install
   ```

* Add the lib path to your configuration such as `~/.bashrc`.

   ```bash
   export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
   ```
