Installation frustrations

Please note the following error I get when I've tried to use deepsearch
from a pip install and also when running the prebuilt deepsearch
downloaded using taskcluster.py:

> tensorflow/core/platform/cpu_feature_guard.cc:35 slash ] The TensorFlow
> library was compiled to use AVX2 instructions, but these aren't
> available on your machine.

I realize this is your first release but outside of mozillains, how are
people managing to install deepsearch and make it run on a workstation?
I have yet to find instructions containing clear steps to realizing a
working deepsearch.

A section titled [ slash #Installation], in any README, ought to
contain all of the required installation instructions. Neither the root
README nor native_client/README have them.

As I said on the other thread, there is so far no other alternative than
rebuilding libtensorflow_cc.so and re-producing Python bindings in
this case. I understand this is frustrating, but so far there is no
runtime-level enabling/disabling of those optimizations, and we enabled
them.

And there is no 'Installation section', because that is documented right
at the top of the root's README.md:
https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech#project-deepspeech

You can see the pip install deepspeech statement, and as I said,
README.md in native_client/ documents how to rebuild things in your
case.

I have the same problem and would love to see someone provide binaries
for non-AVX2 (and non-NVidia) platforms. Not really in the mood for
lengthy compilation sessions.

Thanks for your feedback, I guess we'll have to try and find a solution

We are publishing AVX and non AVX2+FMA binaries now, from TaskCluster
only for the moment:
