*Caffe's MATLAB interface works with versions 2015a, 2014a/b, 2013a/b, and 2012b.*
-#### Windows
-
-There is an unofficial Windows port of Caffe at [niuzhiheng/caffe:windows](https://github.com/niuzhiheng/caffe). Thanks [@niuzhiheng](https://github.com/niuzhiheng)!

## Compilation
Caffe can be compiled with either Make or CMake. Make is officially supported while CMake is supported by the community.
Now that you have installed Caffe, check out the [MNIST tutorial](gathered/examples/mnist.html) and the [reference ImageNet model tutorial](gathered/examples/imagenet.html).
-### Compilation with CMake

The basic steps are as follows:
