Installing caffe on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

[Richel J.C. Bilderbeek]

Dear Caffe users,

At https://caffe.berkeleyvision.org/install_apt.html I found how easy it is to install Caffe under Ubuntu, by simply using apt-get.

However, under the newest LTS, 22.04 Jammy Jellyfish, there is no Caffe apt package available. This is in concordance with https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/caffe . Also an `apt-cache search caffe` does not find Caffe (see output below).

Are there plans to make Caffe be installable using `apt-get` for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS? If yes/no, what is the recommended installation until then?

Thanks and cheers, Richel Bilderbeek

Hi Richel,

Caffe is no longer maintained, so new Ubuntu releases don't get precompiled apt packages anymore (actually, the code was not updated since 2015, so it didn't work on earlier Ubuntu versions either - but that's another story...). The only way is to compile it yourself. A while ago, I bundled my insights on this process in an installation guide you can find here: https://github.com/Totemi1324/caffe-installation-guide Give it a try to see if it helps! I'm here for questions if you are struggling with something.

Regards,

Tamas
