**Installation dependencies:**
same as the executable file installation dependencies. |
- Confirm that the current user has the right to access the installation path `/usr/local/Ascend `of Ascend 910 AI processor software package(Version:[Atlas Data Center Solution V100R020C10T200](https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/zh/ascend-computing/atlas-data-center-solution-pid-251167910/software/251661816)). If not, the root user needs to add the current user to the user group where `/usr/local/Ascend` is located. For the specific configuration, please refer to the software package instruction document.
- GCC 7.3.0 can be installed by using apt command.
- When the network is connected, dependency items in the `requirements.txt` file are automatically downloaded during .whl package installation. In other cases, you need to manually install dependency items.
### (Optional) Installing Conda
1. Download the Conda installation package from the following path:
- [X86 Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/) or [X86 Miniconda](https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html)
- [ARM Anaconda](https://github.com/Archiconda/build-tools/releases/download/0.2.3/Archiconda3-0.2.3-Linux-aarch64.sh)
2. Create and activate the Python environment.
```bash
conda create -n {your_env_name} python=3.7.5
conda activate {your_env_name}
```
> Conda is a powerful Python environment management tool. Beginers are adviced to check related information on the Internet.
### Configuring software package Dependencies
- Install the .whl package provided in Ascend 910 AI processor software package(Version:[Atlas Data Center Solution V100R020C10T200](https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/zh/ascend-computing/atlas-data-center-solution-pid-251167910/software/251661816)). The .whl package is released with the software package. After software package is upgraded, reinstall the .whl package.
```bash
pip install /usr/local/Ascend/fwkacllib/lib64/topi-{version}-py3-none-any.whl
pip install /usr/local/Ascend/fwkacllib/lib64/te-{version}-py3-none-any.whl
pip install /usr/local/Ascend/fwkacllib/lib64/hccl-{version}-py3-none-any.whl
```
## Installation Guide
### Installing Using Executable Files
- Download the .whl package from the [MindSpore website](https://www.mindspore.cn/versions/en). It is recommended to perform SHA-256 integrity verification first and run the following command to install MindSpore:
```bash
pip install mindspore_ascend-{version}-cp37-cp37m-linux_{arch}.whl
```
### Installing Using the Source Code
The compilation and installation must be performed on the Ascend 910 AI processor environment.
1. Download the source code from the code repository.
```bash
git clone https://gitee.com/mindspore/mindspore.git -b r0.6
```
2. Run the following command in the root directory of the source code to compile MindSpore:
```bash
bash build.sh -e ascend
```
> - Before running the preceding command, ensure that the paths where the executable files `cmake` and `patch` store have been added to the environment variable PATH.
> - In the `build.sh` script, the `git clone` command will be executed to obtain the code in the third-party dependency database. Ensure that the network settings of Git are correct.
> - In the `build.sh` script, the default number of compilation threads is 8. If the compiler performance is poor, compilation errors may occur. You can add -j{Number of threads} in to script to reduce the number of threads. For example, `bash build.sh -e ascend -j4`.
3. Run the following command to install MindSpore:
```bash
chmod +x build/package/mindspore_ascend-{version}-cp37-cp37m-linux_{arch}.whl
pip install build/package/mindspore_ascend-{version}-cp37-cp37m-linux_{arch}.whl
```
## Configuring Environment Variables
- In EulerOS, after MindSpore is installed, export runtime-related environment variables.
```bash
# control log level. 0-DEBUG, 1-INFO, 2-WARNING, 3-ERROR, default level is WARNING.
export GLOG_v=2
# Conda environmental options
LOCAL_ASCEND=/usr/local/Ascend # the root directory of run package
# lib libraries that the run package depends on
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LOCAL_ASCEND}/add-ons/:${LOCAL_ASCEND}/fwkacllib/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
# Environment variables that must be configured
export TBE_IMPL_PATH=${LOCAL_ASCEND}/opp/op_impl/built-in/ai_core/tbe # TBE operator implementation tool path
export PATH=${LOCAL_ASCEND}/fwkacllib/ccec_compiler/bin/:${PATH} # TBE operator compilation tool path
export PYTHONPATH=${TBE_IMPL_PATH}:${PYTHONPATH} # Python library that TBE implementation depends on
```
- In Ubuntu, after MindSpore is installed, export runtime-related environment variables. Note: you need to replace {version} in the following configuration with the actual version number on the environment.
```bash
# control log level. 0-DEBUG, 1-INFO, 2-WARNING, 3-ERROR, default level is WARNING.
export GLOG_v=2
# Conda environmental options
LOCAL_ASCEND=/usr/local/Ascend # the root directory of run package
# lib libraries that the run package depends on
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LOCAL_ASCEND}/add-ons/:${LOCAL_ASCEND}/ascend-toolkit/{version}/fwkacllib/lib64:${LOCAL_ASCEND}/driver/lib64:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
# Environment variables that must be configured
export TBE_IMPL_PATH=${LOCAL_ASCEND}/ascend-toolkit/{version}/opp/op_impl/built-in/ai_core/tbe # TBE operator implementation tool path
export PATH=${LOCAL_ASCEND}/ascend-toolkit/{version}/fwkacllib/ccec_compiler/bin/:${PATH} # TBE operator compilation tool path
export PYTHONPATH=${TBE_IMPL_PATH}:${PYTHONPATH} # Python library that TBE implementation depends on
```
## Installation Verification
- After configuring the environment variables, execute the following Python script:
```bash
import numpy as np
from mindspore import Tensor
from mindspore.ops import functional as F
import mindspore.context as context
context.set_context(device_target="Ascend")
x = Tensor(np.ones([1,3,3,4]).astype(np.float32))
y = Tensor(np.ones([1,3,3,4]).astype(np.float32))
print(F.tensor_add(x, y))
```
- The outputs should be the same as:
```
[[[ 2. 2. 2. 2.],
[ 2. 2. 2. 2.],
[ 2. 2. 2. 2.]],
[[ 2. 2. 2. 2.],
[ 2. 2. 2. 2.],
[ 2. 2. 2. 2.]],
[[ 2. 2. 2. 2.],
[ 2. 2. 2. 2.],
[ 2. 2. 2. 2.]]]
```
