*Chainer* is a Python-based deep learning framework aiming at flexibility.
It provides automatic differentiation APIs based on the **define-by-run** approach (a.k.a. dynamic computational graphs) as well as object-oriented high-level APIs to build and train neural networks.
It also supports CUDA/cuDNN using [CuPy](https://github.com/cupy/cupy) for high performance training and inference.
For more details about Chainer, see the documents and resources listed above and join the community in Forum, Slack, and Twitter.

***Notice: As [announced](https://chainer.org/announcement/2019/12/05/released-v7.html), Chainer is under the maintenance phase and further development will be limited to bug-fixes and maintenance only.***

## Installation

*For more details, see the [installation guide](https://docs.chainer.org/en/stable/install.html).*

To install Chainer, use `pip`.

```sh
$ pip install chainer
```

To enable CUDA support, [CuPy](https://github.com/cupy/cupy) is required.
Refer to the [CuPy installation guide](https://docs-cupy.chainer.org/en/stable/install.html).


## Docker image

We are providing the official Docker image.
This image supports [nvidia-docker](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker).
Login to the environment with the following command, and run the Python interpreter to use Chainer with CUDA and cuDNN support.

```
$ nvidia-docker run -it chainer/chainer /bin/bash
```
