Hey, Can you share the R package mxnet? I can't compile it.

@GuLinLin Hi, the newest version of mxnet can be installed from official instructions (https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/)

if you still can't compile it, you can try following steps:
git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet
cd incubator-mxnet
git remote -v
git fetch origin
git branch -avv
git checkout #check out you version
git submodule update --init --recursive
comple for CPU version (optional)
make -j $(nproc) USE_OPENCV=1 USE_BLAS=openblas USE_CUDA=0
compile for GPU version
make -j $(nproc) USE_OPENCV=1 USE_BLAS=openblas USE_CUDA=1 USE_CUDA_PATH=/usr/local/cuda
make rpkg
R CMD INSTALLL mxnet_current_r.tar.gz

After these steps, mxnet will be installed successfully, and you can test by the following:
library(mxnet)
a <- mx.nd.ones(c(2,3), ctx=mx.gpu())
b <- a*2+1
b

Of note, for Linux operating system, some R packages have to be installed manually using "apt-get" when compiling

Anyway, we strongly recommend you to use our developed Docker image DeepGS, the detailed installation steps are available at: https://github.com/cma2015/DeepGS/blob/master/DeepGS_User_Manual.pdf

Hi,
I tried to install it with your method.
I get the following error message:
I am using R 3.4.0 with centOS 6.2

1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version while accessing https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

do you have any idea what the issue might be?

@GuLinLin According to your description, the most possible reason is your network, for Chinese users, may be VPN is necessary when cloning some packages from github
