Re: Can not install ncsdk2 in virtual machine with Ubuntu 18.04 as host.

I am trying to install ncsdk2 in an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine with Ubuntu 18.04 as host. The Official guide do not mentions this as tested. Since I have no mentioned OSs installed in my machine, decided to try my luck. But, resulted in the following error.

 ./uninstall-opencv.sh
        OpenCV uninstall starting
        [sudo] password for sreerag:

    make install starting.

Is this an hint that the installation won't work with this combination of host and guest or something else?

Hi @sreerag_ibtl

I have not tested this setup before. What software are you using to create the virtual machine? I could give it a try and let you know my results.

Also, have you tried using docker? Take a look at the following link: https://movidius.github.io/ncsdk/docker.html

@Jesus_at_Intel I don't have any prior experience with docker. So let me ask, is it possible to install and run NCSDK in ubuntu 18.04 using a docker container.

Hi @sreerag_ibtl

Good news! I was able to install the NCSDK on an Ubuntu 16.04 Virtual Machine (Guest) running on an Ubuntu 18.04 (Host).

Looking at your error: Command

'wget -q --no-cache -O NCSDK-2.10.01.01.tar.gz https://downloadmirror.intel.com/28532/eng/NCSDK-2.10.01.01.tar.gz' return code=4.

, it appears to be a network issue with your VM. Could you check your network settings and make sure you can ping google or our download page?

ping downloadcenter.intel.com
