Intro article to installing Sonnet. Mirroring what is on their github with a little commentary.
Overview
Deep Mind released a new library built on top of TensorFlow that abstracts building a network into simpler blocks. Available here: https://github.com/deepmind/sonnet This library was released April 6th and already has 3000 stars on github (checked April 10th).
Install
- Install TensorFlow
To do this (I’m on MacOSX with python2.7) If you’re on another setup checkout https://www.tensorflow.org/install/
pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/cpu/tensorflow-1.0.1-py2-none-any.whl
2. Install Bazel
Bazel is googles package builder. To install on Mac with homebrew. Anything else checkout https://bazel.build/versions/master/docs/install.html
brew install bazel
3. Install Sonnet
Sonnet does not yet support Python3. There is a promising pull request already to set this up. But not as of April 10th 2017.
$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/deepmind/sonnet
$ cd sonnet/tensorflow $ ./configure $ cd ../
Configure will ask you some questions about what installation you would like.
Now we will run the install script:
$ mkdir /tmp/sonnet $ bazel build --config=opt :install $ ./bazel-bin/install /tmp/sonnet
After that is complete. Took a couple minutes for me:
$ pip install /tmp/sonnet/*.whl
Now to test everything worked 🙂
$ python >>> import sonnet as snt >>> import tensorflow as tf >>> snt.resampler(tf.constant([0.]), tf.constant([0.]))
We should see:
<tf.Tensor 'resampler/Resampler:0' shape=(1,) dtype=float32>
Congratulations you have now setup Deep Mind’s Deep Learning Library on top of TensorFlow
