Total beginner in caffe: RuntimeError: Could not open file python/../models/bvlc_reference_caffenet/

[caffe.b...@gmail.com]

Hi ,

I am a beginner in Caffe and Python.

I installed Caffe and compiled it successfully in ubuntu 16.04. I created an environment in anaconda 2 and used Cmake for compiling. 

I ran this code and it printed caffe version.

 python -c "import caffe;print caffe.__version__"

1.0.0-rc3

Now I am trying to run the first example in Caffe and see the output; however, i am facing a lot of problems. i tried to run the following code:

~/caffe-master$ python python/classify.py --print_results examples/images/cat.jpg foo

CPU mode

Can you please help me and let me know what should I do step by step?
