Setup Compiling Environment on Native CentOS with Stack

To automatically setup the environment, check CentOS 7.6 Environment Setup Script. Manual steps are as follows:

Install Stack

curl -sSL https://get.haskellstack.org/ | sh

Install Protocol Buffers

The rpm version on CentOS 7.6 is too old (2.5.0-8.el7 released in 2015). All Fedora rpms cannot be installed on CentOS due to broken dependencies. To compile the latest version of protobuf from git:

sudo yum install autoconf automake libtool unzip gcc-c++ git -y
git clone https://github.com/google/protobuf.git
cd protobuf
git submodule update --init --recursive
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

Install Snappy

snappy is usually installed. To ensure the installation:

sudo yum install snappy -y

Install TensorFlow C Library

wget https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/libtensorflow/libtensorflow-cpu-linux-x86_64-1.9.0.tar.gz
tar zxf libtensorflow-cpu-linux-x86_64-1.9.0.tar.gz
sudo cp -r lib/* /usr/lib64/
sudo cp -r include/* /usr/include/
sudo ldconfig

Develop Your Haskell Project with Stack Using TensorFlow
