Failed to install the latest MinkowskiEngine (Dec 2023)

I used this method to install MinkowskiEngine.

CUDA 11.X

We recommend python>=3.6 for installation. First, follow the anaconda documentation to install anaconda on your computer.

conda create -n py3-mink python=3.8
conda activate py3-mink

conda install openblas-devel -c anaconda
conda install pytorch=1.9.0 torchvision cudatoolkit=11.1 -c pytorch -c nvidia


# Install MinkowskiEngine

# Uncomment the following line to specify the cuda home. Make sure `$CUDA_HOME/nvcc --version` is 11.X
# export CUDA_HOME=/usr/local/cuda-11.1
pip install -U git+https://github.com/NVIDIA/MinkowskiEngine -v --no-deps --install-option="--blas_include_dirs=${CONDA_PREFIX}/include" --install-option="--blas=openblas"

# Or if you want local MinkowskiEngine
git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/MinkowskiEngine.git
cd MinkowskiEngine
python setup.py install --blas_include_dirs=${CONDA_PREFIX}/include --blas=openblas

also have the same problem

Here is the error :

I solved the ninja error with edit the setup.py.
Ubuntu 18.04.5
Pytorch 1.10.0
Cuda11.3.1
gcc 7.5.0
g++ 7.5.0

error: subprocess.CalledProcessError: Command '['ninja', '-v', '-j', '12']' returned non-zero exit status 1.

Open the setup.py file and edit this line
(cmdclass={"build_ext" :BuildExtension.with_options(use_ninja=False)} )
to False mode. it takes almost long time , but finally will be installed:)

Also check the gcc and g++ versions to be match.

I did this before as well. Nothing change. What is your Linux OS version? 18.04 or 20.04?
