Another software from Enthought that install all Theano dependancy.
If you are affiliated with a university (as student or employee), you
can download the installation for free.
- Install Canopy x64 (and update it as older Canopy version had problem when installing pip).
- Then install pip from Canopy Package Manager.
- "pip install theano" in the Windows shell: "In the Windows start menu execute the `cmd` command".
- in Canopy Package Manager, search and install packages "mingw 4.5.2" and "libpython 1.2"
- (Needed only for Theano 0.6rc3 or older) The "libpython 1.2" package installs files "libpython27.a" and "libmsvcr90.a" to "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\User\libs" (on my computer)
copy the two files to "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\App\appdata\canopy-1.0.0.1160.win-x86_64\libs"
When doing "import theano" g++ links to directory "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\App\appdata\canopy-1.0.0.1160.win-x86_64\libs"
and "C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\App\appdata\canopy-1.0.0.1160.win-x86_64". Not where "libpython27.a" is installed.
- (Needed only for Theano 0.6rc3 or older) Set the Theano flags ``blas.ldflags=C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\App\appdata\canopy-1.0.0.1160.win-x86_64\Scripts -lmk2_core -lmk2_intel_thread -lmk2_rt``.
