Releases

You can find releases in release page.

Install Depenency

Install depenencies using Homebrew:

brew install openblas
brew install graphviz

Installation for Python 2.7

First, ensure your CUDA driver and cudnn is installed properly, and copy dependencies in folder usr_local_lib to path /usr/local/lib. Also, install OpenMP using Homebrew.

sudo mkdir /usr/local
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib
sudo cp usr_local_lib/* /usr/local/lib/
brew install libomp
brew link --overwrite libomp

Install the wheel package from this project:

pip install mxnet-XXX-pyX-none-any.whl

At last, you need to fix libmxnet.so path. It's installed to /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/mxnet/ for Python2 and /usr/local/mxnet/ for Python3. We need to create a link of it to the Python site directory.

ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/mxnet/libmxnet.so /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/mxnet/libmxnet.dylib

The site path might be different if you are using Anaconda or Python2 from Homebrew. To identify an accurate installation path of your mxnet, try uninstall it by

pip uninstall mxnet

Then replace /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ in the command by your correct site path.

Installation for Python 3

Install the wheel package from this project:

pip3 install mxnet-XXX-pyX-none-any.whl

ln -s /usr/local/mxnet/libmxnet.so /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/mxnet/libmxnet.dylib

Enjoy!
