**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 V100R020C00). 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. It is recommended that a beginner read related information on the Internet first. ### Configuring software package Dependencies - Install the .whl package provided in Ascend 910 AI processor software package(Version:Atlas Data Center Solution V100R020C00). 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 r0.5 ``` 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 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.]]] ``` # Installing MindInsight If you need to analyze information such as model scalars, graphs, and model traceback, you can install MindInsight. ## Environment Requirements ### System Requirements and Software Dependencies | Version | Operating System | Executable File Installation Dependencies | Source Code Compilation and Installation Dependencies | | ---- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | MindInsight 0.5.0-beta | - Ubuntu 18.04 aarch64
