Installing Torch7 on Mac OS X

[Tyler Brough]

I am trying to install torch7 on a mac.  I have tried both the "two line method" using curl and by installing lua, luajit, and luarocks first and then trying to install it by luarocks. Nothing is working.  

For example, I get:

$ sudo luarocks --server=https://raw.github.com/torch/rocks/master install torch

Warning: Failed searching manifest: Failed loading manifest: Failed extracting manifest file

Error: No results matching query were found.

Any suggestions.  Torch7 looks great.  I really want to try it out!

Thanks,

TJB

first point, on OSX you dont need sudo

second, could you tell us what the errors you get when you do the two-line method? It works great on all the macs I've tried.

if you could paste the output of the two line-method over here, i can help you debug whats wrong.

Thank you very much for your response. When I use the two-line method I don't get any errors. I get nothing. But when I check for torch it has not been installed. 

I'm puzzled. 

Thanks,

are you trying to run torch with the command:

luajit -ltorch

?

That's how you should.

Either that, or using

I have tried that. This is the error that I get when I do:

can you send me the output for this command? The output will all be piped to out.txt, just send me the out.txt either as an email attachment or as a gist.

curl -s https://raw.github.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-luajit+torch | bash >out.txt 2>&1

[Tyler Brough]

Here it is.  It is just an empty file. Nothing happens. Thanks so much for your help!

that is weird, i'm not sure why nothing happens. i dont know whats going on, but looks like the script is not even running.

Try this:

$ wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-luajit+torch

and then:

$ bash install-luajit+torch

Ah, now I am getting an error message:

$ wget --no-check-certificate https://raw.github.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-luajit+torch

wget: unrecognized option `--no-check-certificate'

Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

try the two new commands on the website. they were updated in the morning.

$ curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-deps | bash $ curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/ezinstall/master/install-luajit+torch | bash

[Tyler Brough]

Yes! That worked.  Except torch-rocks doesn't seem to have been installed. Hmm?  Thoughts?  

Thanks so much!  I'm excited to try torch for my econometric computing problems.

We've moved to vanilla luajit, so you can install packages with luarocks, there is no specialized torch-rocks.

$ luarocks list
