Install Torch7. IPython installation error (mac)

Question

I am trying to install Torch7 on my Mac, however the installation stops at this point:

Not updating your shell profile. You might want to add the following lines to your shell profile: export PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH 

Not sure what that means. Next I got the following conclusion

 echo "Error: could not find ipython in PATH. Do you have it installed?" fi 

However, iPython is installed as I can confirm:

 No update necessary, 'ipython' is up-to-date. ipython-3.0.0-3.egg was installed on: Thu Apr 9 18:12:32 2015 kamransiquisMBP:torch khsiddiqui$ env | grep PATH PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/Library/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin: /usr/local/bin: /usr/bin: /bin: /usr/sbin: /sbin: /opt/X11/bin: /usr/texbin

Answer 1

I had a similar problem and it was resolved, maybe this could help others.

Here was the end of the second installation of the script, and the command "th" did not work:

 Not updating your shell profile. You might want to add the following lines to your shell profile: . /Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate 

This article describes how your shell profile is organized: https://serverfault.com/questions/110065/what-profile-is-my-current-shell-using

I understood that in my user folder / Users / myusername / i there was a file “.bash_profile”, I inserted the line “./Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate” inside but it didn’t work (the command “th” didn’t recognized in the terminal).

So, in the same directory / Users / myusername / folder, I created a .profile file and inserted the line "./Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate" inside.

Then the command "th" works fine;)

First, IPython can be installed, but is not covered by the installation process.

If you enter which ipython at the command line, it will tell you where it is installed. Then echo $PATH display your PATH variable, which should contain the directory containing IPython. If this is not the case, you will need to edit the PATH statement in your .bashrc file to add it.

Secondly, .bashrc is the file that the shell starts at startup and should be in your home directory, so type cd at the command line and you will be there. Then use a text editor such as Text Edit to edit it. In your case, you do not have a .bashrc , instead, some things are installed in a file called .profile . You should probably check the contents of this file.

Finally, I will not run any of these commands from IPython. Run them (and the torch installation process) from the shell.

In addition, I noticed that you have a file named "anaconda". Have you installed "Anaconda"?

I use OSX Sierra and get the same error message every time. I modified the .bash-profile and .profile files. I tried to add these lines, but none of them worked.

~ / torch / install / bin / torch-activate. / Users / myusername / torch / install / bin / torch-activate source = ~ / torch / install / bin / torch-Activate

I do not have a .bashrc file and I am not sure where the / etc / ... file is located, because I do not see the etc folder in my home directory. can anyone help me please?
