Prerequisites: CMake, Boost

$ sudo apt-get install cmake libboost-all-dev build-essential libjsoncpp-dev uuid-dev protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev

For MacOS

$ brew install boost jsoncpp ossp-uuid protobuf

If you got zip archive, just go to building binary

To download code and models:

$ git clone https://github.com/IlyaGusev/tgcontest
$ cd tgcontest
$ git submodule update --init --recursive
$ bash download_models.sh
$ wget https://download.pytorch.org/libtorch/cpu/libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.5.0%2Bcpu.zip
$ unzip libtorch-cxx11-abi-shared-with-deps-1.5.0+cpu.zip

For MacOS use https://download.pytorch.org/libtorch/cpu/libtorch-macos-1.5.0.zip

To build binary (in "tgcontest" dir):

$ mkdir build && cd build && Torch_DIR="../libtorch" cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. && make -j4

To download datasets:

$ bash download_data.sh

Run on sample:

./build/tgnews top data --ndocs 10000
