Inspiration comes from https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style.
Because installing all the required toolchains on OS X 10.11.3 is a bit challenging, I here are my installation steps.

 cd workspace/
 git clone git@github.com:jcjohnson/neural-style.git
 git clone https://github.com/torch/distro.git ~/torch --recursive
 cd ~/torch; bash install-deps;

This will fail a few times if you have already installed them (but different versions). I needed fiddle around unlinking things.

 brew unlink qt
 brew linkapps qt
 brew link --overwrite wget
 bash install-deps;
 brew unlink cmake
 bash install-deps;
 brew unlink imagemagick
 brew unlink brew-cask
 bash install-deps;

Anyhow, make sure the install-deps script doesn’t error out, otherwise you’ll be missing dependencies.

 ./install.sh

This succeeds. It tells you to activate, but I’m using non-standard shell (fish shell), so I mess with the fish config.

 . /Users/jason/torch/install/bin/torch-activate
 th #checking this exists in path, and it doesn't
 luarocks install image
 source ~/.profile
 . ~/.profile
 vim ~/.bashrc
 subl /Users/jason/torch/install/bin/torch-activate
 subl ~/.config/fish/config.fish
 th #now it exists

The change into fish.config that was necessary (for my user, my paths) was:

# . /Users/jason/torch/install/bin/torch-activate
set LUA_PATH '/Users/jason/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/Users/jason/.luarocks/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;/Users/jason/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/Users/jason/torch/install/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua;./?.lua;/Users/jason/torch/install/share/luajit-2.1.0-beta1/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?.lua;/usr/local/share/lua/5.1/?/init.lua'
set LUA_CPATH '/Users/jason/.luarocks/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/Users/jason/torch/install/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;./?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'
set PATH /Users/jason/torch/install/bin $PATH
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH /Users/jason/torch/install/lib $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /Users/jason/torch/install/lib $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
set LUA_CPATH '/Users/jason/torch/install/lib/?.dylib;'$LUA_CPATH

Convert the bash syntax to fish syntax by replacing “export” with “set” and “:” with ” “.
I have a Nvidia graphics card, so I download and install CUDA.

Then we can continue installing dependencies.

 brew install protobuf
 luarocks install loadcaffe
 luarocks install torch
 luarocks install nn

I found that having Xcode 7 means the clang compiler is too new and not supported by cutorch and cunn. The error you would see is this:

nvcc fatal   : The version ('70002') of the host compiler ('Apple clang') is not supported

Sometimes the error messages are garbled. Concurrency build, I presume. I downloaded Xcode 6.4, and replaced my Xcode 7:

cd /Applications
sudo mv Xcode.app/ Xcode7.app
sudo mv Xcode\ 2.app/ Xcode.app # this is Xcode 6.4 when you install it
sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
clang -v 
#Apple LLVM version 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53) (based on LLVM 3.6.0svn)
#Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.3.0
#Thread model: posix

But now I get another fatal issue:

/usr/local/cuda/include/common_functions.h:65:10: fatal error: 'string.h' file not found
#include

Seems like this is an issue people have, cutorch issue 241. Can be resolved by doing

xcode-select --install

This gets me a little further, now the issue seems related to torch.

Since I just updated to OS X 10.11, I presume frameworks in 10.10 should be ok. So this hack should be ok as well, to make Accelerate.framework appear.

ln -s "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk" "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk"

Finally I try to install cutorch, with success.

luarocks install cutorch
luarocks install cunn #this installs fine as well, it didn't before

Everything should be good to go. But nothing works smooth.

I guess I ran out of GPU memory? Seems to be an issue here https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style/issues/150. My pictures aren’t that small, I guess. I’ll just resize them.

Well resizing didn’t work, still runs out of memory. Default `th` uses nn, so I will try using cudnn, but not working.

So I go to https://developer.nvidia.com/rdp/cudnn-download and download cudnn-7.0-osx-x64-v4.0-prod.tgz and follow their install guide:

PREREQUISITES

    CUDA 7.0 and a GPU of compute capability 3.0 or higher are required.

ALL PLATFORMS

    Extract the cuDNN archive to a directory of your choice, referred to below as .
    Then follow the platform-specific instructions as follows.

LINUX

    cd 
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

    Add  to your build and link process by adding -I to your compile
    line and -L -lcudnn to your link line.

OS X

    cd 
    export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

    Add  to your build and link process by adding -I to your compile
    line and -L -lcudnn to your link line.

WINDOWS

    Add  to the PATH environment variable.

    In your Visual Studio project properties, add  to the Include Directories 
    and Library Directories lists and add cudnn.lib to Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies.

Opening the tgz file gives me cuda folder. I just need to add this my path

jason@jmbp15-nvidia ~/workspace> cd cuda/
jason@jmbp15-nvidia ~/w/cuda> set DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH (pwd) $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
jason@jmbp15-nvidia ~/w/cuda> echo $DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
