Don’t forget to install CUDA and cuDNN. Once this is complete, follow these steps.

Install

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

This creates an apt-get repository on your system with a few dependencies in it as local deb files. The final step is to install the core Poseidon project, and it will automatically install all the dependencies.

wget -O poseidon-repo-ubuntu1404_0.10_amd64.deb https://github.com/petuum-inc/storage/blob/master/poseidon/deb/ubuntu/poseidon-repo-ubuntu1404_0.10_amd64.deb?raw=true
sudo dpkg -i poseidon-repo-ubuntu1404_0.10_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install poseidon

Uninstall

Uninstalling with the debian packaging manager simply means removing the core package, called poseidon:

sudo apt-get remove poseidon

# Note you can also remove the debian install repository:
sudo apt-get purge poseidon-repo
