Based on what I’m finding from my own digging into this problem, it’s looking like the book is assuming that readers are developing on non-macOS platforms without saying so. According to https://mxnet.apache.org/get_started/?version=v1.6.0&platform=macos&language=python&processor=gpu&environ=pip
There is no “pip” install option for macOS. It seems that MXNet will have to be manually built from source code on individual macOS devices, which is much more involved.
There is no mxnet110 developed yet(most recently 10*), while the link “CUBA” in the paragraph will lead to the downloading page of CUBA 11.0 . It is contradictary, so is mxnet100 compatable with CUBA 11.0??

Hi @skywalker_H, CUDA upgrades the version regularly, you should be able to use CUDA10.1. http://d2l.ai/chapter_appendix-tools-for-deep-learning/aws.html#installing-cuda
I am using a Surface notebook with Intel Graphics chips, does it mean that I’d better get a new computer with NVidia cards?

I have geforce mx250 graphics. I dont think i have cuda support. What platform should i run the code.
@Ali_coder
Recommend my post: Do these before you ask
You can try to google it before you ask. I’m a AMD user, but all Nvidia GPU support cuda in my mind.
If you use mxnet, go to https://mxnet.apache.org/versions/1.6/get_started/
You can use CPU version or CUDA version in your computer.
Or just use a server 
Or just google it:
Can I use MX 250 Graphic Card for basic Deep Learning ?
Then go to the nvidia website:
But you can’t find the CUDA download…
So you just search it, then you find mxnet doesn’t support cuda11 yet.
So you search for
You can select the right Platform for your cuda:
After you installed cuda 10.2 , you can install mxnet:
Example:
Give you an exercise:
- use google to install pytorch-gpu locally
Ha, I found an cute user. If you are Josiah Yoder, please tell me it’s ok to publish it
Dear All,
Problem with mxnet installation.
I have installed mxnet-cu101==1.7.0 on my ubuntu 18.04, GPU Geforce gtx 1660 Ti. Results show as follows.
Requirement already satisfied: idna<3,>=2.5 in ./anaconda3/envs/d2l/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from requests<3,>=2.20.0->mxnet-cu101==1.7.0) (2.10)
But when I import mxnext it showed errors as follows.
from mxnet import np, npx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘mxnet’
Could anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance.
Hi @Duong_PC, anaconda may be a bit tricky. Could you try with miniconda as https://d2l.ai/chapter_installation/index.html#installing-miniconda?
Thank you very much for the quick reply. May I install both anaconda and miniconda? In case I wanna keep using only anaconda, is there any solution for the tricky? Thanks.
Help!

ERROR: No matching distribution found for mxnet==1.7.0Hi @anish, sorry for the inconvenience. Please follow what the error message suggested:
pip install mxnet==1.7.0.post1
I am getting the error of “NotJSONError(“Notebook does not appear to be JSON: ‘’…”)”
Hi @aaekay, it may cause by git conflict or other jupyter issues, check here for potential solutions.
One easiest solution if you haven’t played with the notebooks yet: you can do a git reset --hard origin/master. While please be aware that will remove all the previous history you made to the notebooks, but update your local content as consistent as the origin/master.
