gistfile1.md

Basic setup in Ubuntu:

1. Remote Desktop

• sudo apt-get update
• sudo apt-get install xrdp
• sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
• echo "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-fallback" > ~/.xsession
• sudo /etc/init.d/xrdp restart ** use gnome-session-quit --logout to log out

2. CUDA

• Install Nvidia driver for linux 64 version 331.20 (may use "additional drivers" from System Settings or command line jockey-gtk
  • may need to quit GUI before installation
  • sudo service lightdm stop
  • Ctrl + Alt + F1 to login with terminal and start installation
  • Ctrl + Alt + F7 to return to GUI
• Install Cuda 5.5 (caffe runs much slower when compiled with cuda 6.0)
  • sudo sh cuda_5.5xxx.run

3. MKL Install cpp_studio_xe_2013_sp1_update2, SN: SP9R-DHZ7VXZ6

• edit /etc/ld.so.conf, append '/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013_sp1.2.144/mkl/lib/intel64' and '/usr/local/cuda-5.5/lib64'
• sudo ldconfig
• double check cuda is present in : sudo ldconfig -p | grep libcudart
• edit ~/.bashrc, and add the following lines
  • export PATH="/home/sqiu/anaconda/bin:$PATH"
  • export PATH="/usr/local/cuda-5.5/bin:$PATH"
  • export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/glnxa64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"

4. Matlab 2012a

• solving issues with libstdc++: http://sgpsproject.sourceforge.net/JavierVGomez/index.php/Solving_issues_with_GLIBCXX_and_libstdc%2B%2B
  • sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16 /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/sys/os/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6
  • sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6.0.16 /usr/local/MATLAB/R2012a/bin/glnxa64/libstdc++.so.6
• sudo sh activate_matlab.sh

5. Sublime Text http://askubuntu.com/questions/172698/how-do-i-install-sublime-text-2 https://gist.github.com/puzzledqs/635ce150414ebed0cad0
