Missing dependency for hdf5: totem Error: Failed cloning git repository; git clome time out

I tried to install torch-hdf5 by the official instruction in project page, but an missing dependency error occurred:

> $ luarocks make hdf5-0-0.rockspec LIBHDF5_LIBDIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/"

Missing dependencies for hdf5:
totem 

Using https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/rocks/master/totem-0-
0.rockspec... switching to 'build' mode
Cloning into 'torch-totem'...

Error: Failed installing dependency: 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torch/rocks/master/totem-0-0.rockspec - Failed cloning git repository.

Actually, I can clone the totem using git clone https://github.com/deepmind/torch-totem.git. I wonder that there is any way to install torch-totem after cloning it locally, just like luarocks make or something like that.

Solution

  • I solved the dependency problem by using the following commands:

    git clone https://github.com/deepmind/torch-totem.git
cd torch-totem
cp rocks/totem-0-0.rockspec ./   #copy the rockspec file in the root dirctory of project
luarock make

    Then the message shows as below:

    Updating manifest for xxx/torch/install/lib/luarocks/rocks
totem 0-0 is now built and installed in xxx/torch/install/ (license: BSD)
