@GuLinLin Hi, the newest version of mxnet can be installed from official instructions (https://mxnet.incubator.apache.org/install/)

if you still can't compile it, you can try following steps:
git clone --no-checkout https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet
cd incubator-mxnet
git remote -v
git fetch origin
git branch -avv
git checkout #check out you version
git submodule update --init --recursive
comple for CPU version (optional)
make -j $(nproc) USE_OPENCV=1 USE_BLAS=openblas USE_CUDA=0
compile for GPU version
make -j $(nproc) USE_OPENCV=1 USE_BLAS=openblas USE_CUDA=1 USE_CUDA_PATH=/usr/local/cuda
make rpkg
R CMD INSTALLL mxnet_current_r.tar.gz

After these steps, mxnet will be installed successfully, and you can test by the following:
library(mxnet)
a <- mx.nd.ones(c(2,3), ctx=mx.gpu())
b <- a*2+1
b

Of note, for Linux operating system, some R packages have to be installed manually using "apt-get" when compiling

Anyway, we strongly recommend you to use our developed Docker image DeepGS, the detailed installation steps are available at: https://github.com/cma2015/DeepGS/blob/master/DeepGS_User_Manual.pdf

Hi,
I tried to install it with your method.
I get the following error message:
I am using R 3.4.0 with centOS 6.2

1407742E:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version while accessing https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/info/refs
fatal: HTTP request failed

do you have any idea what the issue might be?

@GuLinLin According to your description, the most possible reason is your network, for Chinese users, may be VPN is necessary when cloning some packages from github

Hi,I want to use your developed Docker image DeepGS. But I can't compile it. Can you help me to compile the R package mxnet?
