Caffe has several dependencies:

* [CUDA](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-zone) is required for GPU mode.
* library version 7.0 and the latest driver version are recommended, but 6.* is fine too
* library version 7+ and the latest driver version are recommended, but 6.* is fine too
* 5.5, and 5.0 are compatible but considered legacy
* [BLAS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Linear_Algebra_Subprograms) via ATLAS, MKL, or OpenBLAS.
* [Boost](http://www.boost.org/) >= 1.55

* [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) >= 2.4 including 3.0
* IO libraries: `lmdb`, `leveldb` (note: leveldb requires `snappy`)
* cuDNN for GPU acceleration (v3)
* cuDNN for GPU acceleration (v4)

Pycaffe and Matcaffe interfaces have their own natural needs.

* For Python Caffe: `Python 2.7` or `Python 3.3+`, `numpy (>= 1.7)`, boost-provided `boost.python`
* For MATLAB Caffe: MATLAB with the `mex` compiler.

**cuDNN Caffe**: for fastest operation Caffe is accelerated by drop-in integration of [NVIDIA cuDNN](https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn). To speed up your Caffe models, install cuDNN then uncomment the `USE_CUDNN := 1` flag in `Makefile.config` when installing Caffe. Acceleration is automatic. The current version is cuDNN v3; older versions are supported in older Caffe.

**CPU-only Caffe**: for cold-brewed CPU-only Caffe uncomment the `CPU_ONLY := 1` flag in `Makefile.config` to configure and build Caffe without CUDA. This is helpful for cloud or cluster deployment.
