If working with GPU machines, don’t forget to install CUDA and cuDNN before installation.

Install

Currently quick installation is only possible with Ubuntu through the debian packaging system.

# CPU-only package:
wget -O poseidon-ubuntu1404_1.0.1_amd64.deb https://github.com/petuum-inc/storage/blob/master/poseidon/deb/ubuntu/cpu/poseidon-ubuntu1404_1.0.1_amd64.deb?raw=true
sudo dpkg -i poseidon-ubuntu1404_1.0.1_amd64.deb

# GPU-enabled package:
wget -O poseidon-gpu-ubuntu1404_1.0.1_amd64.deb https://github.com/petuum-inc/storage/blob/master/poseidon/deb/ubuntu/gpu/poseidon-gpu-ubuntu1404_1.0.1_amd64.deb?raw=true
sudo dpkg -i poseidon-gpu-ubuntu1404_1.0.1_amd64.deb

Uninstall

Uninstalling with the debian packaging manager simply means removing the package, called poseidon or poseidon-gpu:

# CPU-only package:
sudo apt-get remove poseidon

# GPU-enabled package:
sudo apt-get remove poseidon-gpu
