how to setup cuDnn with theano on Windows 7 64 bit

Question

I have installed Theano framework and enabled CUDA on my machine, however when I \"import theano\" in my python console, I got the following message:

Answer 1

There should be a way to do it by setting only the Path environment variable but I could never get that to work. The only thing that worked for me was to manually copy the CuDNN files into the appropriate folders in your CUDA installation.

For example, if your CUDA installation is in C:\CUDA\v7.0 and you extracted CuDNN to C:\CuDNN you would copy as follows:

• The contents of C:\CuDNN\lib\x64\ would be copied to C:\CUDA\v7.0\lib\x64\
• The contents of C:\CuDNN\include\ would be copied to C:\CUDA\v7.0\include\
• The contents of C:\CuDNN\bin\ would be copied to C:\CUDA\v7.0\bin\

After that it should work.

Answer 2

In addition to all the stuffs you did I updated following content of .theanorc.txt in my home folder and it worked after that.

[lib] 
#cnmem=1.0 
cudnn=1.0
