Help with installing caffe dependencies in a central place - and not via yum.

[Prachi Jain]

We need to install caffe dependencies on a multi-node machine at a central place - and not via yum.

We have been facing difficulty in resolving the following:

No package protobuf-devel available.
No package leveldb-devel available.
No package opencv-devel available.
No package hdf5-devel available.
No package gflags-devel available.
No package glog-devel available.
No package lmdb-devel available.

Any help with this will be great!

Thanks!

Your question has actually nothing to do at all with caffe or neural networks. So this is hardly the right place to ask it.

I am running Fedora, and had no trouble installing those packages; not sure why RHEL cannot find them, they should be in the standard repos. You can always download the RPMs manually and install them with yum or rpm. If everything else fails you can download the sources and compile and install the packages yourself.

Why can't you use yum? You could create a local yum repo.

Note that you only need these packages to build caffe, for distribution the runtime packages (usually same name without the -devel) are sufficient.
