a. The git commit id will be written to the version number with step 4, e.g
. 0.6.0+2e7045c. The version will also be saved in trained models.
It is recommended that you run step 4 each time you pull some updates from
github. If C++/CUDA codes are modified, then this step is compulsory.
> Important: Be sure to remove the `./build` folder if you reinstall mmdet with a different CUDA/PyTorch version.
```shell
pip uninstall mmdet
rm -rf ./build
find . -name "*.so" | xargs rm
```
b. Following the above instructions, mmdetection is installed on `dev` mode
, any local modifications made to the code will take effect without the need to reinstall it (unless you submit some commits and want to update the version number).
c. If you would like to use `opencv-python-headless` instead of `opencv
-python`,
you can install it before installing MMCV.
d. Some dependencies are optional. Simply running `pip install -v -e .` will
only install the minimum runtime requirements. To use optional dependencies like `albumentations` and `imagecorruptions` either install them manually with `pip install -r requirements/optional.txt` or specify desired extras when calling `pip` (e.g. `pip install -v -e .[optional]`). Valid keys for the extras field are: `all`, `tests`, `build`, and `optional`.
### Install with CPU only
The code can be built for CPU only environment (where CUDA isn't available).
In CPU mode you can run the demo/webcam_demo.py for example.
However some functionality is gone in this mode:
- Deformable Convolution
- Deformable ROI pooling
- CARAFE: Content-Aware ReAssembly of FEatures
- nms_cuda
- sigmoid_focal_loss_cuda
So if you try to run inference with a model containing deformable convolution you will get an error.
Note: We set `use_torchvision=True` on-the-fly in CPU mode for `RoIPool` and `RoIAlign`
### Another option: Docker Image
We provide a [Dockerfile](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/blob/master/docker/Dockerfile) to build an image.
```shell
# build an image with PyTorch 1.5, CUDA 10.1
docker build -t mmdetection docker/
```
Run it with
```shell
docker run --gpus all --shm-size=8g -it-v{DATA_DIR}:/mmdetection/data mmdetection
```
### A from-scratch setup script
Here is a full script for setting up mmdetection with conda.
```shell
conda create -n open-mmlab python=3.7 -y
conda activate open-mmlab
# install latest pytorch prebuilt with the default prebuilt CUDA version (usually the latest)
