git clone --recursive https://github.com/caffe2/caffe2.git
cd caffe2
Note that you might need to uninstall existing Eigen and pybind11 packages due to compile-time dependencies when building from source. For this reason, Caffe2 uses git submodules to reference external packages in the third_party folder. These are downloaded with the --recursive option.

To use Caffe2 in Python, you need two libraries, future and six.
pip install future six
To run the tutorials, download additional source from GitHub.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/caffe2/tutorials.git caffe2_tutorials
cd caffe2_tutorials
You'll also need jupyter (formerly ipython) notebooks and matplotlib, which can be installed on MacOS X with
brew install matplotlib --with-python3
pip install jupyter
