The numpy and scipy packages are prerequisites for Theano installation. The following versions are recommended:
- NumPy >= 1.9.1 <= 1.12
- SciPy >= 0.14 < 0.17.1: Highly recommended for sparse matrix and support for special functions in Theano, SciPy >=0.8 would do the work
- BLAS installation (with Level 3 functionality) the recommended: MKL, this is free through conda with the mkl-service package
Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) is a specification that defines a set of low-level routines for performing common linear algebra operations such as vector addition, scalar multiplication, dot products, linear combinations, and matrix multiplication. These are the de facto standard low-level routines for linear algebra ...
