Description
First, thank you :) This research is a big inspiration, and it's great to learn and explore with the code itself. After realizing I needed a beefier GPU, I got it running on AWS with a p2.xlarge (1xK80). Here are a few things I noticed.
After running `pip install -r requirements.txt` I got an error like:
```
Command /home/ubuntu/densecap/webcam/.env/bin/python -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/home/ubuntu/densecap/webcam/.env/build/Pillow/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-e4ld0f-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers /home/ubuntu/densecap/webcam/.env/include/site/python2.7 failed with error code 1 in /home/ubuntu/densecap/webcam/.env/build/Pillow
```
After searching, it looks like this is a Pillow issue. You need to run `sudo apt-get install python-dev` before Pillow can be installed.
Then I noticed that you create the virtual env, install the requirements, then activate it. I think the second and third steps should be reversed, otherwise you are installing the requirements outside the virtualenv (and the Python code fails to run).
Then, I got the error `module 'socket' not found:No LuaRocks module found for socket` when running `th webcam/daemon.lua`. This was fixed by installing `luarocks install luasocket`.
Then, on AWS (and I imagined some other servers) ports are available based on a whitelist. I had to open port 5000 for inbound TCP traffic.
When you wrote: `https://cs.stanford.edu/people/jcjohns/densecap/demo/web-client.html?server_url=SERVER_URL` I thought `SERVER_URL` meant the domain of my server. Then I realized it meant `https://ec2-my-ip-address.compute-1.amazonaws.com.:5000/`, the same URL where I accepted the self-signed certificate, and it worked!
Finally, I also have issue #49 despite CUDNN being correctly installed and used for other things, I can't use it here for some reason. So I have to disable it with `-use_cudnn 0` when running the `daemon.lua` or the other demo.
