A list of the pacakge status and contribution needs can be found here [Clojure Package Contribution Needs](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MXNET/Clojure+Package+Contribution+Needs). Please get involved :) -Testing instructions can be found in the testing.md. ## Getting Started +The Clojure MXNet framework consists of a core C library, a Scala Api that talks to it through JNI bindings, and finally a Clojure wrapper around the Scala api. + +Since there is a native code involved in the framework, what OS you are running matters. + The following systems are supported: - OSX cpu - Linux cpu - Linux gpu -There are two ways of getting going. The first way is the easiest and that is to use the pre-built jars from Maven. The second way is to build from source. In both cases, you will need to load the prereqs and dependencies, (like opencv). - - - -### Prerequisites +There are three ways of getting started: +* Use the Clojure jars with the native dependencies baked in. This the easiest way to get going. +* Checkout the MXNet project from a release tag using the Scala jars with native deps. This is also a pretty easy way to get started.
