Installation

Most of the requirements of this projects are exactly the same as maskrcnn-benchmark. If you have any problem of your environment, you should check their issues page first. Hope you will find the answer.

Step-by-step installation

# first, make sure that your conda is setup properly with the right environment
# for that, check that `which conda`, `which pip` and `which python` points to the
# right path. From a clean conda env, this is what you need to do

conda create --name recode
conda activate recode

# this installs the right pip and dependencies for the fresh python
conda install ipython
conda install scipy
conda install h5py

# scene_graph_benchmark and coco api dependencies
pip install ninja yacs cython matplotlib tqdm opencv-python overrides

pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu113
pip install git+https://github.com/openai/CLIP.git
# follow PyTorch installation in https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/
# we give the instructions for CUDA 10.1
conda install pytorch==1.13.0 torchvision==0.14.0 torchaudio==0.13.0 pytorch-cuda=11.7 -c pytorch -c nvidia
