Simple CNTK Installation
Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) is easy to install.
On Windows, if you have configured Anaconda3 Python 3.5 as your active Python environment, run this command to install the CNTK CPU-only version:
pip install https://cntk.ai/PythonWheel/CPU-Only/cntk-2.0rc1-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl
On Ubuntu 16.04, if you have configured Anaconda3 Python 3.5 as your active Python environment, run these commands to install the CNTK CPU-only version:
sudo apt-get install openmpi-bin
pip install https://cntk.ai/PythonWheel/CPU-Only/cntk-2.0rc1-cp35-cp35m-linux_x86_64.whl
You can easily fine tune your PIP installation, including information about configuring information and the easy installation of tutorials, sample and Jupyter notebooks. For Windows, check out this page, for Linux this one.
