All the demos/tutorials provided in this repo require Torch7 to be installed, as well as some extra (3rd-party) packages.
Follow instructions on: Torch7's homepage.
Different demos/tutorials rely on different 3rd-party packages. If a demo crashes because it can't find a package then simply try to install it using luarocks:
$ luarocks install image # an image library for Torch7
$ luarocks install nnx # lots of extra neural-net modules
$ luarocks install camera # a camera interface for Linux/MacOS
$ luarocks install ffmpeg # a video decoder for most formats
$ ...A complete list of packages can be obtained by doing:
$ luarocks listor checking out this page.
After that, a list of tutorials will be available in the documentation.
Each directory provides a tutorial or a demo, with no particular order. It's a good idea to have the torch documentation on the side, for reference. As Torch is based on the Lua language, it's also a good idea to go through the Lua 5.1 book.
These demos were slowly put together by: Clement Farabet & Roy Lowrance, and are now maintained by e-lab
