The easiest way to install Video ReCap is using conda-pack with our provided videorecap.tar.gz environment. Here are the steps:

1. Install conda-pack using the following command or following official documentation.

pip install conda-pack

2. Download videorecap.tar.gz environment.

3. Unzip the environment into a directory.

mkdir -p videorecap
tar -xzf videorecap.tar.gz -C videorecap

4. (a) Activate the environment, and conda-unpack.

source videorecap/bin/activate
conda-unpack

Or, 4. (b) Copy the environment to your anaconda 'envs' directory, activate the environment, and conda-unpack.

mv videorecap ANACONDA_DIRECTORY/envs

Manual Installation

Alternatively, you can install Video ReCap using the following steps.

1. Create conda environment:

conda create --name videorecap python=3.8
conda activate videorecap

2. Install pytorch with the correct CUDA version.
3. Install other packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Install and setup nlg-eval:

pip install git+https://github.com/Maluuba/nlg-eval.git@master
nlg-eval --setup

${\color{red}(N.B.)}$ Currently, nlg-eval --setup is not working because some files have been deleted from their server. Alternatively, you can download our provided nlgeval.zip file and copy to your environment site-packages.

unzip nlgeval.zip
mv nlgeval ANACONDA_DIRECTORY/envs/videorecap/lib/python3.8/site-packages
