I’m trying to install this repo :
https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/MonocularTotalCapture
on google colab. This is how I have installed conda and opencv=2.4.13 (it requires python 2.7 to work)
pip install conda
!wget -c https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
!chmod +x Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh
!bash ./Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -f -p /usr/local
import sys
sys.path.append('/usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/')
!conda install -y -q -c conda-forge opencv=2.4.13
Between the others packages,it requires also pyEDM,so I’m trying to install it. I’m following this guide :
I don’t get any error until this command :
!cd pyEDM; pip install .
that gives to me this error :
Processing /content/pyEDM
ERROR: Package 'pyEDM' requires a different Python: 2.7.15 not in '>=3'
Infact when I ask which versions of python I have,it says :
!python2 --version
Python 2.7.15
!python3 --version
Python 3.6.9
!echo $PYTHONPATH
/tensorflow-1.15.0/python3.6:/env/python
So,I should change the python version installed by conda when I have installed opencv 2.4.13 to a version of 3 or greater,otherwise the package can’t be installed. On my local machine I would do that with this command :
!alias python='/usr/bin/python3.6'
but it does not work on colab. When I give the alias command it doesn’t answer anything and the error is still there.
