Installing Torch7. iPython installation error (mac)

Question

I'm trying to install Torch7 on my mac, however the installation halts at this point:

Not updating your shell profile.
You might want to 
add the following lines to your shell profile:

export PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 
export    DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/khsiddiqui/torch/install/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH 

Not sure what it means. Further above I received the following output

echo "Error: could not find ipython in PATH. Do you have it installed?"
   fi

However iPython is installed as I can confirm:

No update necessary, 'ipython' is up-to-date.
ipython-3.0.0-3.egg was installed on: Thu Apr  9 18:12:32 2015

Answer 1

i had a similar problem and solved it, maybe it could help others.

Here was the end of the second installation script, and the command "th" wasn't working:

Not updating your shell profile.
You might want to
add the following lines to your shell profile:

. /Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate

This article explains how your shell profile is organized: https://serverfault.com/questions/110065/what-profile-is-my-current-shell-using

I realized in my user folder /Users/myusername/ i had a ".bash_profile" file, i pasted the line ". /Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate" inside but didn't work (command "th" no recognized in terminal).

So in the same /Users/myusername/ folder i created a ".profile" file and pasted the line ". /Users/myusername/torch/install/bin/torch-activate" inside.

Then the command "th" works fine ;)
