Installing Torch7. iPython installation error (mac) - macos

Question

I'm trying to install Torch7 on my mac, however the installation halts at this point:
Not updating your shell profile.
You might want to
add the following lines to your shell profile:
export PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
Not sure what it means. Further above I received the following output
echo "Error: could not find ipython in PATH. Do you have it installed?"
fi
However iPython is installed as I can confirm:
No update necessary, 'ipython' is up-to-date.
ipython-3.0.0-3.egg was installed on: Thu Apr 9 18:12:32 2015

Answer 1

i had a similar problem and solved it, maybe it could help others.
Here was the end of the second installation script, and the command "th" wasn't working:
Not updating your shell profile.
You might want to
add the following lines to your shell profile:
. /Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate
This article explains how your shell profile is organized: https://serverfault.com/questions/110065/what-profile-is-my-current-shell-using
I realized in my user folder /Users/myusername/ i had a ".bash_profile" file, i pasted the line ". /Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate" inside but didn't work (command "th" no recognized in terminal).
So in the same /Users/myusername/ folder i created a ".profile" file and pasted the line ". /Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate" inside.
Then the command "th" works fine ;)

First, IPython may be installed but not seen by the install process.
If you enter which ipython at a shell prompt it will tell you where it is installed. Then echo $PATH will display your PATH variable which should contain the directory that contains IPython. If it isn't then you will have to edit the PATH statement in your .bashrc file to add it.
Second, .bashrc is a file that is run by the shell when it starts up and should be in your home directory so enter cd at a shell prompt and you will be there. Then use a text editor such as Text Edit to edit it. In your case you don't have a .bashrc file, instead some things are being set in a file called .profile. You should probably check the contents of that.
Finally, I wouldn't run any of these commands from within IPython. Only run them (and the Torch install process) from the shell.
Further, I notice you have a file with the name "anaconda" in it. Have you installed 'Anaconda'?
