Torch7安装gfx.js出错

刚学习Torch，安装gfx.js一直不成功，先要求安装node.js和npm然后装好后还是提示各种错误，最后找到一种解决方案，将gfx.js替换为display.js。

Install for Torch via:

luarocks install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/szym/display/master/display-scm-0.rockspec 

Launch the server:

th -ldisplay.start [port [hostname]]

默认是localhost

然后把gfx.js的内容替换为display.js即可。

The Solution

So, I installed display.js, which is much simpler and easier to install than gfx.js.

Display.js is a better alternative for gfx.js in that it is easy to install with less dependencies. Just follow the instructions written here.

After installation, run the following on the terminal window: $ ~/.display/run.js &（。。。没成功，用 th -ldisplay.start ）
The display server has started and is listening on localhost, port 8000. Type the following in browser http://127.0.0.1:8000/
The next step is to replace all code references to gfx.js in 1_data.lua and replace it with display.js.
Here is a summary of the changes that I made to 1_data.lua to reflect the use of display.js
Replace the code snippet in the first column with the code snippet on the second column.

Original using gfx.js	Changed to display.js
require 'gfx.js'	disp=require 'display'
gfx.image(first256Samples_y, {legend='Y'})	disp.image(first256Samples_y, {title='Y'})
gfx.image(first256Samples_u, {legend='U'})	disp.image(first256Samples_u, {title='U'})
gfx.image(first256Samples_v, {legend='V'})	disp.image(first256Samples_v, {title='V'})

Here is the modified 1_data.lua for your reference.

Run this command
$ th -i 1_data.lua
