Installation instructions

• Install python3 and virtualenv if it is not installed for your platform

For Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install virtualenv

For OSX: brew install virtualenv

• Clone this repository

git clone git@gitlab.com:sahajsoft/aakaar.git

• Inside aakaar directory create a virtualenv with python3

cd aakaar/ virtualenv -p python3 venv

• Source virtualenv

`source venv/bin/activate~

• Install all required pip dependencies

pip install -r requirements.txt

• Outside aakaar directory clone tensorflow models repo

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models

• In your shell rc file import the path for the slim form models/research directory

vi ~/.bashrc or vi ~/.zshrc depending on the shell you are using Add line at the end export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:<Directory_To_Models_Parent_Folder>/models/research:<Directory_To_Models_Folder>/models/research/slim

• Git clone cocoapi and make

git clone https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git cd cocoapi/PythonAPI make

• Copy pycoco tools to the models

cp -r pycocotools <Directory_To_Models_Parent_Folder>/models/research/

• Generate protobuf files from the config

Ensure that correct version of protobuf is installed. I had 3.5+ installed.

cd <Directory_To_Models_Parent_Folder>/models/research/ protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.

• Run simple tensorflow test to ensure everything is correctly installed

cd <Directory_To_Models_Parent_Folder>/models/research python object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py
