Full disclosure, python etc is not my strong point i’m learning and following tutorials, however the ease at which all of these fail is frustrating. I am following the tutorials and then something breaks or doesnt work and then spend hours trying to fix it only for something else to break !
I am following the tutorial here: Installation — TensorFlow 2 Object Detection API tutorial documentation
Ill list my commands step by step in the hope some one can tell me what im doing wrong
conda create -n tensorflow pip python=3.9
conda activate tensorflow
pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow==2.5.0
python -c “import tensorflow as tf;print(tf.reduce_sum(tf.random.normal([1000, 1000])))”
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
(no output is shown or errors)
pip install cython
pip install git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI
cp object_detection/packages/tf2/setup.py .
python -m pip install .
python object_detection/builders/model_builder_tf2_test.py
