Re: [kaldi-help] Installing Kaldi without root privileges

[Jan Trmal]

you shouldn't need root at all -- all of our students can compile it without any issues with root access...

the error also does not suggest it should be a problem of having root access -- I'd delete the complete openfst-1.6.7 directory and run make in tools/ again.

Hello again, thank you for your last reply!

I am now trying to install Kaldi on an external server (using ssh), but I have no root privileges as it is a machine owned by my research institute. Is there a way to install Kaldi on this without root (mostly sudo) commands?

I have all the dependencies installed as my tools/extras/check_dependencies.sh doesn't complain.

However, when I try to make using 

make CXX=g++-4.8

I get the following error after a while.

g++-4.8: error: .libs/info.o: No such file or directory

I get the feeling that openfst tries to mkdir in /usr/local/bin (which probably requires root privileges), but I don't know how I can work around it. I've already tried to install it through make command in tools/openfst-1.6.7 but similar errors occur.

I am using g++-4.8 for compiling.

Any help is appreciated!

Thank you in advance,

Hi

1- I guest that g++ 4.8 is a little old, you can install locally newer g++ version and add it to PATH.

I think for training nnet models you must have up cuda 7 and it compiles by new g++.

However openfst 1.6.7 is ok with gcc>4.7

also you can install sox locally.

2- Jan Trmal, I think for extras/check_dependencies.sh can set

 a "mathlib" option that can set it optionally like configure in src.

Now In this extras/check_dependencies.sh, it checks only root mkl directory and get the error,

something like this https://deepakbaby.github.io/post/kaldi-mkl/

Thank you both for the replies!

Fortunately I found out after a few hours(but not in the past few days before coming here for help!) that a fresh reinstall of Kaldi worked (According to Jan I guess deleting openfst was enough) so I pretty much deleted the post out of embarrassment. But thank you both for your quick and kind support!
