Welcome to the Caffe2 Quick Start Guide. This book aims to provide you with a quick introduction to the Caffe2 deep learning framework and how to use it for training and deployment of deep learning models. This book uses code samples to create, train, and run inference on actual deep learning models that solve real problems. In this way, its code can be applied quickly by readers to their own applications.

This chapter provides a brief introduction to Caffe2 and shows you how to build and install it on your computer. In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Introduction to deep learning and Caffe2
• Building and installing Caffe2
• Testing Caffe2 Python API
• Testing Caffe2 C++ API
