For detailed steps to install Tensorflow, follow the Tensorflow installation instructions. A typical user can install Tensorflow using one of the following commands:
# For CPU:
pip install tensorflow
# For GPU:
pip install tensorflow-gpu
The DELF library uses protobuf (the python
version) to configure feature extraction and its format. You will need the
protoc
compiler, version >= 3.3. The easiest way to get it is to download
directly. For Linux, this can be done as (see
here for other platforms):
wget https://github.com/google/protobuf/releases/download/v3.3.0/protoc-3.3.0-linux-x86_64.zip
unzip protoc-3.3.0-linux-x86_64.zip
PATH_TO_PROTOC=`pwd`
wget https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.7.0/protoc-3.7.0-osx-x86_64.zip
unzip protoc-3.3.0-linux-x86_64.zip
PATH_TO_PROTOC=`pwd`
Install python library dependencies:
sudo pip install matplotlib
sudo pip install numpy
sudo pip install scikit-image
sudo pip install scipy
Now, clone tensorflow/models
, and install required libraries: (note that the
object_detection
library requires you to add tensorflow/models/research/
to
your PYTHONPATH
, as instructed
here)
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models
# First, install slim's "nets" package.
cd models/research/slim/
sudo pip install -e .
# Second, setup the object_detection module by editing PYTHONPATH.
cd ..
# From tensorflow/models/research/
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`
Then, compile DELF's protobufs. Use PATH_TO_PROTOC
as the directory where you
downloaded the protoc
compiler.
# From tensorflow/models/research/delf/
${PATH_TO_PROTOC?}/bin/protoc delf/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
Finally, install the DELF package.
# From tensorflow/models/research/delf/
sudo pip install -e . # Install "delf" package.
At this point, running
python -c 'import delf'
should just return without complaints. This indicates that the DELF package is loaded successfully.
Installation issues may happen if multiple python versions are mixed. The
instructions above assume python2.7 version is used; if using python3.X, be sure
to use pip3
instead of pip
, and all should work.
Issues might be observed if using pip install
with -e
option (editable
mode). You may try out to simply remove the -e
from the commands above. Also,
depending on your machine setup, you might need to run the pip install
command
without sudo
at the beginning.
