Install Caffe with Python3.6 in Anaconda on a Ubuntu 14.04 machine

1. Install Anaconda

• Download Anaconda from https://www.continuum.io/downloads#linux
• bash Anaconda3-4.3.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
• Install useful packages (other than what caffe/python/requirements.txt indicates)

2. Install dependencies

• sudo apt-get install libprotobuf-dev libleveldb-dev libsnappy-dev libopencv-dev libhdf5-serial-dev protobuf-compiler 
• sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends libboost-all-dev
• sudo apt-get install libgflags-dev libgoogle-glog-dev liblmdb-dev

3. Make

• cd {path to your caffe}
• cp Makefile.config.example Makefile.config
• In Makefile.config, modify the following:
• If only CPU mode, uncomment
• CPU_ONLY := 1
• Comment:
• PYTHON_INCLUDE := /usr/include/python2.7 \
      /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy/core/include
• Uncomment:
• ANACONDA_HOME := $(HOME)/anaconda3
• PYTHON_INCLUDE := $(ANACONDA_HOME)/include \
     $(ANACONDA_HOME)/include/python3.6m \
     $(ANACONDA_HOME)/lib/python3.6/site-packages/numpy/core/include
• check the boost_python version library in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/. For example, if there exists libboost_python-py34.so in this directory, uncomment and modify the line of PYTHON_LIBRARIES as
• PYTHON_LIBRARIES := boost_python-py34 python3.6m
• Comment 
• PYTHON_LIB := /usr/lib
• Uncomment
• PYTHON_LIB := $(ANACONDA_HOME)/lib
• WITH_PYTHON_LAYER := 1
• In Makefile, if you meet compilation error about 'undefined reference to cv::' things, you should modifies the corresponding line as:
• LIBRARIES += glog gflags protobuf boost_system boost_filesystem m hdf5_hl hdf5 opencv_core opencv_highgui opencv_imgproc opencv_imgcodecs opencv_videoio
• make all
• make test
• export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:{path to your anaconda}/anaconda3/lib:{path to your anaconda}/anaconda3/pkgs/python-3.6.0-0/lib
• make runtest
• cd python
• Modify requirements.txt: python-dateutil>=2.0
• for req in $(cat requirements.txt); do pip install $req; done
• make pycaffe

4. Sanity check by import caffe to python

• export PYTHONPATH={path to your caffe}/caffe-master/python/:$PYTHONPATH
• python3.6
• import caffe
• Also, you may want run some examples in jupyter notebook.
