Using neural-style in Arch Linux

Today I saw this cool program called neural-style [1], which combines pictures using neural networks. The results look pretty fun and I was hoping to use it under Archlinux.
Has anyone been able to install de needed dependencies (torch7 and loadcaffe) and then run the program? I found a PKGBUILD here, but I don't know how to install loadcaffe.

Re: Using neural-style in Arch Linux

Have you tried to build loadcaffe with cmake?

No, I haven't tried that. Compiling with cmake is not my field of expertise :S . I will give it a try.

Re: Using neural-style in Arch Linux

I spent the last evening playing with it and it's really cool. I used the self-contained torch install which is pretty straightforward. You can find all the informations here

After that, I installed protobuf from AUR and loadcaffe with luarocks (which comes with the torch install)

And voila, ready to play

Re: Using neural-style in Arch Linux

Thanks for the instructions! I'm running it now in CPU mode and it seems to be working fine
An AUR package of this would be cool. Maybe I'll find some time to do it.
