**NOTE: These options only take effect when running cmake for the first time, you need to clean the cmake cache or clean the build directory if you want to change it.**
PaddlePaddle目前唯一官方支持的运行的方式是Docker容器。因为Docker能在所有主要操作系统（包括Linux，Mac OS X和Windows）上运行。 请注意，您需要更改 `Dockers设置 <https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/issues/627>`_ 才能充分利用Mac OS X和Windows上的硬件资源。
Docker is simple as long as we understand a few basic concepts:
After you've read above tutorials you may proceed the following steps.
- *image*: A Docker image is a pack of software. It could contain one or more programs and all their dependencies. For example, the PaddlePaddle's Docker image includes pre-built PaddlePaddle and Python and many Python packages. We can run a Docker image directly, other than installing all these software. We can type
.. _docker_pull:
.. code-block:: bash
Pull PaddlePaddle Docker Image
------------------------------
docker images
to list all images in the system. We can also run
.. code-block:: bash
docker pull paddlepaddle/paddle:0.10.0
Run the following command to download the latest Docker images:
to download a Docker image, paddlepaddle/paddle in this example,
from Dockerhub.com.
- *container*: considering a Docker image a program, a container is a
"process" that runs the image. Indeed, a container is exactly an
operating system process, but with a virtualized filesystem, network
port space, and other virtualized environment. We can type
.. code-block:: bash
.. code-block:: bash
docker run paddlepaddle/paddle:0.10.0
docker pull paddlepaddle/paddle
to start a container to run a Docker image, paddlepaddle/paddle in this example.
- By default docker container have an isolated file system namespace,
For users in China, we provide a faster mirror:
we can not see the files in the host file system. By using *volume*,
mounted files in host will be visible inside docker container.
Following command will mount current dirctory into /data inside
docker container, run docker container from debian image with
command :code:`ls /data`.
.. code-block:: bash
.. code-block:: bash
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/data debian ls /data
docker pull docker.paddlepaddle.org/paddle
Usage of CPU-only and GPU Images
----------------------------------
We package PaddlePaddle's compile environment into a Docker image,
called the develop image, it contains all compiling tools that
PaddlePaddle needs. We package compiled PaddlePaddle program into a
Docker image as well, called the production image, it contains all
runtime environment that running PaddlePaddle needs. For each version
of PaddlePaddle, we release both of them. Production image includes
CPU-only version and a CUDA GPU version and their no-AVX versions.
We put the docker images on `dockerhub.com
Download GPU version images:
<https://hub.docker.com/r/paddlepaddle/paddle/tags/>`_. You can find the
latest versions under "tags" tab at dockerhub.com.
** NOTE: If you are in China, you can use our Docker image registry mirror to speed up the download process. To use it, please replace all paddlepaddle/paddle in the commands to docker.paddlepaddle.org/paddle.**
1. development image :code:`paddlepaddle/paddle:<version>-dev`
This image has packed related develop tools and runtime
environment. Users and developers can use this image instead of
their own local computer to accomplish development, build,
releasing, document writing etc. While different version of paddle
may depends on different version of libraries and tools, if you
want to setup a local environment, you must pay attention to the
versions. The development image contains:
- gcc/clang
- nvcc
- Python
- sphinx
- woboq
- sshd
Many developers use servers with GPUs, they can use ssh to login to
the server and run :code:`docker exec` to enter the docker
container and start their work. Also they can start a development
docker image with SSHD service, so they can login to the container
and start work.
2. Production images, this image might have multiple variants:
In the above command, :code:`-it` means run the container interactively;
:code:`-v $PWD:/work` means mount the current directory ($PWD will expand
The above command will compile PaddlePaddle and create a Dockerfile for building production image. All the generated files are in the build directory. "WITH_GPU" controls if the generated production image supports GPU. "WITH_AVX" controls if the generated production image supports AVX. "WITH_TEST" controls if the unit test will be generated.
to current absolute path in Linux) under :code:`/work` in the container.
:code:`paddlepaddle/paddle` to specify image to use; finnally
:code:`/work/train.py` is the command to run inside docker.
The second step is to run:
Also, you can go into the container shell, run or debug your code
interactively:
.. code-block:: bash
.. code-block:: bash
docker run -it -v $PWD:/work paddlepaddle/paddle /bin/bash
**NOTE: We did not install vim in the default docker image to reduce the image size, you can run :code:`apt-get install -y vim` to install it if you need to edit python files.**
The above command will generate the production image by copying the compiled PaddlePaddle program into the image.
