CUDNN Installation


I am trying to install CUDNN to use tensorflow with GPU support on my Macbook Pro. After downloading cudnn from NVDIA website, these are all the instructions i could find:

OS X

cd <installpath>
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

Add <installpath> to your build and link process by adding -I<installpath> to your compile
line and -L<installpath> -lcudnn to your link line.

While, the first step is really straightforward, what is the meaning of second statement and how do I finish the second step? Please advise. Thanks.


Solution

  • So I was stuck at the same place and what I found was that the cudnn archive basically had just two library files a : .h and .so files. so I figured it was best to put them someplace that is already looked at and I found this :

    Untar the folder and copy the necessary files to the existing cuda 
    library we installed earlier.
    
    tar -xzvf cudnn-7.0-linux-x64-v4.0-prod.tgz
    cp cuda/lib64/* /usr/local/cuda/lib64/
    cp cuda/include/cudnn.h /usr/local/cuda/include/
    

    so I guess u should find an equivalent for mac
