Maybe Helpful: Ubuntu 14.04 to suxessfull running vrn Howto/run-throuth with Cuda 7.5

[SandUhrGucker]

Just to help others:

Hi @ALL. After a Week in the reuirements/depencies Hell I figured out how to run this vrn on a fresh installed Ubuntu 14.04. I also tried Centos 7 and Ubuntu 18.04 with no Luck.
This guide avoid segfaults, missing functionality and broken Pipes.
However its not a super-sexy clean code or howto - but at the end it runs.

#starting from ubuntu 14.04 desktop ISO
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install ssh
sudo apt-get -y install nano mc build-essential libreadline-dev g++ gcc git

# nvidia driver
sudo apt-get -y install nvidia-352 nvidia-modprobe
sudo reboot

--

#check GPU driver install ok
lsmod |egrep "nou|nvid"

#install cuda 7.5 (already tried 8/9/10 _without_ Luck)
cd ~
wget http://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/7.5/Prod/local_installers/cuda_7.5.18_linux.run

sudo bash -c "echo /usr/local/cuda/lib64/ > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/cuda.conf"
sudo ldconfig

#install cudunn 5.1

# some handcraft needed:

	REMOVE LINE: from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
	REMOVE LINE: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
	REMOVE LINE: import matplotlib.patches as patches
nano face-alignment/facedetection_dlib.lua
	REPLACE LINE: local detections = py.reval('[np.asarray([d.left(), d.top(), d.right(), d.bottom()]) for i, d in enumerate(dets)]',{dets=dets})                     
	BY LINE: local detections = py.reval('[np.asarray([d.left(), d.top(), d.right(), d.bottom()],dtype=float) for i, d in enumerate(dets)]',{dets=dets})

#It should run fine now and show you a result. if you run it in a ssh session like I do, you may want to convert a raw file to alias wavefront obj-file:
python raw2obj.py --volume output/asj.raw --image examples/scaled/asj.jpg --obj asj.obj

Thanks, that should be helpful to some people! I'll leave this open so people can find it more easly.

O python 2 foi descontinuado, alguma solução?
O pip não faz o download do dlib e dos outros

[Altally]

what versions of pip modules?
