## Compilation
Now that you have the prerequisites, edit your `Makefile.config` to change the paths for your setup The defaults should work, but uncomment the relevant lines if using Anaconda Python.
Caffe can be compiled with either Make or CMake. Make is officially supported while CMake is supported by the community.
### Compilation with Make
Configure the build by copying and modifying the example `Makefile.config` for your setup. The defaults should work, but uncomment the relevant lines if using Anaconda Python.
cp Makefile.config.example Makefile.config
# Adjust Makefile.config (for example, if using Anaconda Python)
# Adjust Makefile.config (for example, if using Anaconda Python, or if cuDNN is desired)
make all
make test
make runtest
- For cuDNN acceleration, you should uncomment the `USE_CUDNN := 1` switch in `Makefile.config`.
- For CPU & GPU accelerated Caffe, no changes are needed.
- For cuDNN acceleration using NVIDIA's proprietary cuDNN software, uncomment the `USE_CUDNN := 1` switch in `Makefile.config`. cuDNN is sometimes but not always faster than Caffe's GPU acceleration.
- For CPU-only Caffe, uncomment `CPU_ONLY := 1` in `Makefile.config`.
To compile the Python and MATLAB wrappers do `make pycaffe` and `make matcaffe` respectively.

Now that you have installed Caffe, check out the [MNIST tutorial](gathered/examples/mnist.html) and the [reference ImageNet model tutorial](gathered/examples/imagenet.html).
### CMake Compilation
### Compilation with CMake
In lieu of manually editing `Makefile.config` to configure the build, Caffe offers an unofficial CMake build thanks to @Nerei, @akosiorek, and other members of the community. It requires CMake version >= 2.8.7.
