Getting python caffe to work with anaconda

[Saurabh B]

Hi there,

I have all the requirements installed. And I am new to anaconda as well so this might be because of a knowledge gap.

My understanding is that anaconda does not allow PYTHONPATH.. we are supposed to install the package.

I zipped up the distribution in /caffe/python/distribute/python and tried to install it -

(caffe2)ubuntu@ip-172-30-0-189:~/caffe/distribute/python$ conda install --channel file://home/ubuntu/caffe/distribute/python caffe.tar.bz2

Has anyone solved this?
