Prerequisites
In this section we demonstrate how to prepare an environment with PyTorch.
MMPretrain works on Linux, Windows and macOS. It requires Python 3.7+, CUDA 10.2+ and PyTorch 1.8+.
If you are experienced with PyTorch and have already installed it, just skip this part and jump to the [next section](#installation). Otherwise, you can follow these steps for the preparation.
Step 1. Download and install Miniconda from the official website.
Step 2. Create a conda environment and activate it.
conda create --name openmmlab python=3.8 -y
conda activate openmmlab
Step 3. Install PyTorch following official instructions, e.g.
On GPU platforms:
conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch
This command will automatically install the latest version PyTorch and cudatoolkit, please check whether they match your environment.
On CPU platforms:
conda install pytorch torchvision cpuonly -c pytorch
Installation
Best Practices
According to your needs, we support two install modes:
- Install from source (Recommended): You want to develop your own network or new features based on MMPretrain framework. For example, adding new datasets or new backbones. And you can use all tools we provided.
- Install as a Python package: You just want to call MMPretrain's APIs or import MMPretrain's modules in your project.
Install from source
In this case, install mmpretrain from source:
git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmpretrain.git
cd mmpretrain
pip install -U openmim && mim install -e .
`"-e"` means installing a project in editable mode, thus any local modifications made to the code will take effect without reinstallation.
Install as a Python package
Just install with mim.
pip install -U openmim && mim install "mmpretrain>=1.0.0rc7"
`mim` is a light-weight command-line tool to setup appropriate environment for OpenMMLab repositories according to PyTorch and CUDA version. It also has some useful functions for deep-learning experiments.
Verify the installation
To verify whether MMPretrain is installed correctly, we provide some sample codes to run an inference demo.
Option (a). If you install mmpretrain from the source, just run the following command:
python demo/image_demo.py demo/demo.JPEG resnet18_8xb32_in1k --device cpu
You will see the output result dict including pred_label, pred_score and pred_class in your terminal.
Option (b). If you install mmpretrain as a python package, open your python interpreter and copy&paste the following codes.
from mmpretrain import get_model, inference_model
model = get_model('resnet18_8xb32_in1k', device='cpu') # or device='cuda:0'
inference_model(model, 'demo/demo.JPEG')
You will see a dict printed, including the predicted label, score and category name.
The `resnet18_8xb32_in1k` is the model name, and you can use [`mmpretrain.list_models`](mmpretrain.apis.list_models) to
explore all models, or search them on the [Model Zoo Summary](./modelzoo_statistics.md)
Customize Installation
CUDA versions
When installing PyTorch, you need to specify the version of CUDA. If you are not clear on which to choose, follow our recommendations:
- For Ampere-based NVIDIA GPUs, such as GeForce 30 series and NVIDIA A100, CUDA 11 is a must.
- For older NVIDIA GPUs, CUDA 11 is backward compatible, but CUDA 10.2 offers better compatibility and is more lightweight.
Please make sure the GPU driver satisfies the minimum version requirements. See this table for more information.
Installing CUDA runtime libraries is enough if you follow our best practices,
because no CUDA code will be compiled locally. However if you hope to compile
MMCV from source or develop other CUDA operators, you need to install the
complete CUDA toolkit from NVIDIA's [website](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads),
and its version should match the CUDA version of PyTorch. i.e., the specified
version of cudatoolkit in `conda install` command.
Install on CPU-only platforms
MMPretrain can be built for CPU only environment. In CPU mode you can train, test or inference a model.
Install on Google Colab
See the Colab tutorial.
Using MMPretrain with Docker
We provide a Dockerfile to build an image. Ensure that your docker version >=19.03.
# build an image with PyTorch 1.12.1, CUDA 11.3
# If you prefer other versions, just modified the Dockerfile
docker build -t mmpretrain docker/
Run it with
docker run --gpus all --shm-size=8g -it -v {DATA_DIR}:/mmpretrain/data mmpretrain
Trouble shooting
If you have some issues during the installation, please first view the FAQ page. You may open an issue on GitHub if no solution is found.
