mlpack: a scalable C++ machine learning library

dependencies

• Armadillo >= 6.500.0
• Boost
• CMake >= 3.3.2

Armadillo: c++ linear algebra library based on LAPACK and BLAS
If you are compiling Armadillo by hand, ensure that LAPACK and BLAS are enabled.

see OpenCV vs. Armadillo vs. Eigen on Linux

sudo apt-get install libarmadillo-dev

install

apt-get

sudo apt-get install libmlpack-dev

version: 2.0.1
by default mlpack will install to /usr/include/mlpack and /usr/lib

compile

wget https://www.mlpack.org/files/mlpack-3.1.1.tar.gz
git clone https://github.com/mlpack/mlpack.git
mkdir build && cd build && cmake-gui ..
make -j8
sudo make install

configure and output

...
Found Armadillo: /usr/lib/libarmadillo.so (found suitable version "6.500.5", minimum required is "6.500.0") 
Armadillo libraries: /usr/lib/libarmadillo.so
...

version: 3.1.1
