Currently, MMDeploy only provides build-from-source method for windows platform. Prebuilt package will be released in the future.

## Build From Source
All the commands listed in the following chapters are verified on **Windows 10**.

### Install Toolchains
1. Download and install [Visual Studio 2019](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com)
2. Add the path of `cmake` to the environment variable `PATH`, i.e., "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake\bin"
3. Install cuda toolkit if NVIDIA gpu is available. You can refer to the official [guide](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads).

#### Install Inference Engines for MMDeploy

Both MMDeploy's model converter and SDK share the same inference engines.
You can select your interested inference engines and do the installation by following the given commands.

**Currently, MMDeploy only verified ONNXRuntime and TensorRT for windows platform**.
As for the rest, MMDeploy will support them in the future.

#### Build Model Converter

##### Build Custom Ops
If one of inference engines among ONNXRuntime, TensorRT and ncnn is selected, you have to build the corresponding custom ops.

- **ONNXRuntime** Custom Ops

```powershell
mkdir build -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -T v142 -DMMDEPLOY_TARGET_BACKENDS="ort" -DONNXRUNTIME_DIR="$env:ONNXRUNTIME_DIR"
cmake --build . --config Release -- /m
```

- **TensorRT** Custom Ops

```powershell
mkdir build -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -T v142 -DMMDEPLOY_TARGET_BACKENDS="trt" -DTENSORRT_DIR="$env:TENSORRT_DIR" -DCUDNN_DIR="$env:CUDNN_DIR"
cmake --build . --config Release -- /m
```

- **ncnn** Custom Ops

  TODO

##### Install Model Converter

```powershell
cd $env:MMDEPLOY_DIR
pip install -e .
```

**Note**

- Some dependencies are optional. Simply running `pip install -e .` will only install the minimum runtime requirements.
  To use optional dependencies, install them manually with `pip install -r requirements/optional.txt` or specify desired extras when calling `pip` (e.g. `pip install -e .[optional]`).
  Valid keys for the extras field are: `all`, `tests`, `build`, `optional`.

#### Build SDK

MMDeploy provides two recipes as shown below for building SDK with ONNXRuntime and TensorRT as inference engines respectively.
You can also activate other engines after the model.

- cpu + ONNXRuntime

  ```PowerShell
  cd $env:MMDEPLOY_DIR
  mkdir build -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  cd build
  cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -T v142 `
      -DMMDEPLOY_BUILD_SDK=ON `
      -DMMDEPLOY_TARGET_DEVICES="cpu" `
      -DMMDEPLOY_TARGET_BACKENDS="ort" `
      -DMMDEPLOY_CODEBASES="all" `
      -DONNXRUNTIME_DIR="$env:ONNXRUNTIME_DIR"

  cmake --build . --config Release -- /m
  cmake --install . --config Release
  ```

- cuda + TensorRT

  ```PowerShell
  cd $env:MMDEPLOY_DIR
  mkdir build -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
  cd build
  cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -T v142 `
    -DMMDEPLOY_BUILD_SDK=ON `
    -DMMDEPLOY_TARGET_DEVICES="cuda" `
    -DMMDEPLOY_TARGET_BACKENDS="trt" `
    -DMMDEPLOY_CODEBASES="all" `
    -Dpplcv_DIR="$env:PPLCV_DIR/pplcv-build/install/lib/cmake/ppl" `
    -DTENSORRT_DIR="$env:TENSORRT_DIR" `
    -DCUDNN_DIR="$env:CUDNN_DIR"

  cmake --build . --config Release -- /m
  cmake --install . --config Release
  ```

#### Build Demo

```PowerShell
cd $env:MMDEPLOY_DIR\build\install\example
mkdir build -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 16 2019" -A x64 -T v142 `
  -DMMDeploy_DIR="$env:MMDEPLOY_DIR/build/install/lib/cmake/MMDeploy"

cmake --build . --config Release -- /m

$env:path = "$env:MMDEPLOY_DIR/build/install/bin;" + $env:path
```

### Note
  1. Release / Debug libraries can not be mixed. If MMDeploy is built with Release mode, all its dependent thirdparty libraries have to be built in Release mode too and vice versa.
