It is possible to install Microsoft CNTK on a macbook? I have OS X El Capitan. The official Microsoft documentation at https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/wiki/Setup-CNTK-on-your-machine doesn't provide any information for mac users.
Thank you
As of June 2017, you can only run CNTK on OSX using Docker (which will run a Linux container)
Documentation from Microsoft is available here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cognitive-toolkit/CNTK-Docker-Containers
If you want to run the CPU version of CNTK (as opposed to a GPU enabled) you'll need to pull a particular version of the docker container. See: https://hub.docker.com/r/microsoft/cntk/
I recommend using the following for CPU CNTK:
docker pull microsoft/cntk:2.0-cpu-python3.5
Once you've pulled the container above, you can use Jupyter Notebooks to look at tutorials etc:
First, run the container:
docker run -d -p 8888:8888 --name cntk-jupyter-notebooks -t microsoft/cntk:2.0-cpu-python3.5
Then run this command:
docker exec -it cntk-jupyter-notebooks bash -c "source /cntk/activate-cntk && jupyter-notebook --no-browser --port=8888 --ip=0.0.0.0 --notebook-dir=/cntk/Tutorials --allow-root"
You'll want to access the shell to run CNTK commands. You can attach a bash shell using docker.
Get your container id
docker ps
Then attach a shell
docker exec -it <container_id> bash
While it might not be supported on Mac directly, you can always use a virtual machine to get around.
You can setup docker in your local environment.
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/
Follow its documentations on how to install on Docker
https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/wiki/CNTK-Docker-Containers
We currently support both Linux and Windows. Mac support is on our ToDo or would be interested in community contribution.
I'm currently building CNTK on a linux machine without root access, installing every dependency with linuxbrew (a fork of homebrew). So I think is possible to build on MacOS natively. You can try building it from source with CNTK linux manual to build from source. Let me know if you have any issue.

Hi, I have this problem, trying to running Docker in Ubuntu 20.04 in windows 11 using the WSL, I installed it using the official documentation in https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/linux-postinstall/, I tried with some commands like:
sudo service docker start | restart
Show me OK but this didn't work when I tried to execute again the run hello-world command.
Can you help me please?
You should install Docker for Windows and manage it from there, rather than a service within WSL. Then in the preferences, you can link it to WSL2, where it'll install the Docker CLI.
I installed docker with the instructions here, downloading from docker-hub
https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/
But when I run docker-compose I get this error
pyenv: docker-compose: command not found
The `docker-compose' command exists in these Python versions:
3.6.5/envs/myenv
Also, docker-compose is available under /Users
which docker-compose
/Users/<username>/.pyenv/shims/docker-compose
In this link says, docker-compose for mac need not be installed explicitly as it is part of docker for desktop mac.
https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/
Is something wrong with my installation?
I ran into the same issue on macOS today. Turned out that you need to run the installed app once, it does some additional downloading and setup. That setup includes setting up your path variables.
docker-compose is a utility that is now a parameter in mac docker
so instead of docker-compose up, its now docker compose up
if you install docker from official website then docker-compose will come along with that for mac so need to either upgrade and documentation is present there.
I want to install docker using command line not using docker for mac. I have downloaded the individual binary for Mac from this link.
docker ce binaries
I am able to run docker command but if I run docker ps then it shows
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
I tried another way to downloading docker using brew as below
brew cask install docker
But using brew it only download the desktop setup of docker and I have to start it manually.
So I am looking for a solution in which I can install and run docker through command without involving any UI.
Thanks
The error above means that the docker service is not running so you have to run it first. Then enable it to start on boot - to avoid the need to start it each time you login to your macOS - at the end you should be able to use docker cli without issues
I'm using Windows 7 Pro and have existing shared Docker engine running on a Linux. I would like to use my workstation (with development environment) to access shared Docker engine.
Does someone know how to retrieve Docker client only for Windows 7 ? I have no admin privilege, so I can't install Docker Toolbox.
Older Clients can be found here https://download.docker.com/win/static/stable/x86_64/
And here a some newer Builds by Stefan Scherer (Docker employee) https://github.com/StefanScherer/docker-cli-builder.
Just download docker.exe and add it to your windows path variable.
Then set your DOCKER_HOST variable to define against which Docker daemon you want to speak.
The official Downloads have finally been published:
Mac CLI binaries are available at
https://download.docker.com/mac/static/stable/
Windows CLI (and daemon) binaries at https://download.docker.com/win/
Linux CLI packages are available for each distro as docker-cli (deb and rpm) packages: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/dists/focal/pool/stable/amd64/

Although docker provides a REST-like API, there aren't many clients for it. A quick google turned up one on github, but ymmv. Even if you did find one, you're likely to run into the same problems involved in running docker-ce locally anyway.
There are a handful of gui clients that you could run on that engine and access with a browser, but if you are specifically after a cli you're SOL with this.
If you have an ssh client (git bash, or putty, or something), and you can arrange to run a bastion container on the engine, then you could run a container to ssh into and use that as if it's your local machine. You'd still have to scp resources onto it, but you'll eventually have to solve that problem anyway. Something like:
sudo docker container run --interactive --tty -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock image
Where 'image' is a linux image with an ssh server and appropriate keys, git, and docker installed. You could mount a local volume for persistence, or you could just keep everything in git.
I started Docker and am now following the tutorial, but for all I know I couldn't run the docker-machine command on OS X.
The documentation states that you run the following command to create a local virtual machine:
docker-machine create --driver virtualbox manager
However, this command doesn't work in OS X (11.6), with the following error:
Running pre-create checks...
Error with pre-create check: "VBoxManage not found. Make sure VirtualBox is installed and VBoxManage is in the path"
I tried to install the virtualbox; however, another page clearly states that you must not install it on your local machine:
VirtualBox prior to version 4.3.30 must NOT be installed (it is incompatible with Docker for Mac)
Note: If your system does not satisfy these requirements, you can install Docker Toolbox, which uses Oracle VirtualBox instead of HyperKit.
So I only installed Docker for Mac and not virtualbox. So what am I missing here? The example page says you can run the tutorial on OS X, so I wonder how I can proceed...
You can follow along and run this example using Docker for Mac, Docker for Windows or Docker for Linux.
I had the same issue today and resolved it by installing VirtualBox as an additional step after installing Docker for Mac (I did so with brew install --cask virtualbox)
I don't recall having to do the extra install previously, but maybe I already had VirtualBox already installed because of another tool (like Vagrant). Anyway, this is explained in the Docker Machine documentation:
If you are using Docker for Mac
Docker for Mac uses HyperKit, a lightweight macOS virtualization
solution built on top of the Hypervisor.framework in macOS 10.10
Yosemite and higher.
Currently, there is no docker-machine create driver for HyperKit, so
you will use virtualbox driver to create local machines. (See the
Docker Machine driver for Oracle VirtualBox.) Note that you can run
both HyperKit and Oracle VirtualBox on the same system. To learn more,
see Docker for Mac vs. Docker Toolbox.
Make sure you have the latest VirtualBox correctly installed on your system (either as part of an earlier Toolbox install, or manual
install).
I had the same issue. At the same spot ;-)
For me the xhyve driver, available from https://github.com/zchee/docker-machine-driver-xhyve, worked.
In short:
brew install docker-machine-driver-xhyve
You get a notice some links need to be created manually, so copy those and execute
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
sudo chown root:wheel /usr/local/opt/docker-machine-driver-xhyve/bin/docker-machine-driver-xhyve
Create:
docker-machine create --driver xhyve manager
Without VirtualBox. Im using OS X 10.11.6, too.
After updating my docker docker-machine command stopper working on my mac terminal.
So found after updating my docker I'll have to reinstall docker-machine CLI just to get the latest version.
Updated docker-machine to latest one using the command below helped me making docker-machine command working again.
base=https://github.com/docker/machine/releases/download/v0.16.0 &&
curl -L $base/docker-machine-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) >/usr/local/bin/docker-
machine &&
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-machine
