Changing the imported library's environment variable

Question

I want to set the following environment variable

SIDEKIT = ”theano=true,theano_config=gpu,libsvm=true,mpi=false”

for the imported third-party library SIDEKIT.

Do I need to reinstall the package and change the line in setup?

This is the best I could find: http://www-lium.univ-lemans.fr/sidekit/api/envvar.html#how-to-cut-the-dependency-to-theano

Answer 1

You can set an environment variable by going to Properties -> Click on the Advanced system settings -> Click on the Environment Variables.

After you install Sidekit, you can simply set the variable. If you are working on a CPU, set the variable as follows.

SIDEKIT = ”theano=true,theano_config=gpu,libsvm=true,mpi=false”

If you are working on a GPU, you'll need to have nvcuda.dll in your system for Sidekit to be imported successfully.
