Repositories and dependencies¶

Installation instructions provided for tensorflow_scala (Platanios) do not work at the moment of writing (2018-08-21). It may be related to differences in the supported hardware the native library was compiled for.

So, it was necessary for me to compile libtensorflow.so from source:

By using the intelpython3_full (providing Python 3.6.3 at the moment), you get numpy and scipy MKL-accelerated libraries out of the box. Unfortunately, there is not an easy way to install Tensorflow compiled with MKL support on Mac OS X more ...
