- Linux or macOS with Python ≥ 3.6
- PyTorch ≥ 1.7 and torchvision that matches the PyTorch installation. Install them together at pytorch.org to make sure of this
- OpenCV is optional but needed by demo and visualization
gcc & g++ ≥ 5.4 are required. ninja is optional but recommended for faster build. After having them, run:
python -m pip install 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git'
# (add --user if you don't have permission)
# Or, to install it from a local clone:
git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git
python -m pip install -e detectron2
# On macOS, you may need to prepend the above commands with a few environment variables:
CC=clang CXX=clang++ ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" python -m pip install ...
To rebuild detectron2 that's built from a local clone, use rm -rf build/ **/*.so to clean the
old build first. You often need to rebuild detectron2 after reinstalling PyTorch.
Choose from this table to install v0.4 (Mar 2021):
| CUDA | torch 1.8 | torch 1.7 | torch 1.6 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11.1 | install | ||
| 11.0 | install | ||
| 10.2 | install | install | install |
| 10.1 | install | install | install |
| 9.2 | install | install | |
| cpu | install | install | install |
Note that:
- The pre-built packages have to be used with corresponding version of CUDA and the official package of PyTorch. Otherwise, please build detectron2 from source.
- New packages are released every few months. Therefore, packages may not contain latest features in the master branch and may not be compatible with the master branch of a research project that uses detectron2 (e.g. those in projects).
Click each issue for its solutions:
Undefined symbols that contains TH,aten,torch,caffe2.
This usually happens when detectron2 or torchvision is not compiled with the version of PyTorch you're running.
If the error comes from a pre-built torchvision, uninstall torchvision and pytorch and reinstall them following pytorch.org. So the versions will match.
If the error comes from a pre-built detectron2, check release notes, uninstall and reinstall the correct pre-built detectron2 that matches pytorch version.
If the error comes from detectron2 or torchvision that you built manually from source,
remove files you built (build/, **/*.so) and rebuild it so it can pick up the version of pytorch currently in your environment.
If the above instructions do not resolve this problem, please provide an environment (e.g. a dockerfile) that can reproduce the issue.
Missing torch dynamic libraries, OR segmentation fault immediately when using detectron2.
This usually happens when detectron2 or torchvision is not compiled with the version of PyTorch you're running. See the previous common issue for the solution.Undefined C++ symbols (e.g. GLIBCXX) or C++ symbols not found.
Usually it's because the library is compiled with a newer C++ compiler but run with an old C++ runtime.
This often happens with old anaconda.
It may help to run conda update libgcc to upgrade its runtime.
The fundamental solution is to avoid the mismatch, either by compiling using older version of C++
compiler, or run the code with proper C++ runtime.
To run the code with a specific C++ runtime, you can use environment variable LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/libstdc++.so.
"nvcc not found" or "Not compiled with GPU support" or "Detectron2 CUDA Compiler: not available".
CUDA is not found when building detectron2. You should make sure
python -c 'import torch; from torch.utils.cpp_extension import CUDA_HOME; print(torch.cuda.is_available(), CUDA_HOME)'
print (True, a directory with cuda) at the time you build detectron2.
Most models can run inference (but not training) without GPU support. To use CPUs, set MODEL.DEVICE='cpu' in the config.
"invalid device function" or "no kernel image is available for execution".
Two possibilities:
-
You build detectron2 with one version of CUDA but run it with a different version.
To check whether it is the case, use
python -m detectron2.utils.collect_envto find out inconsistent CUDA versions. In the output of this command, you should expect "Detectron2 CUDA Compiler", "CUDA_HOME", "PyTorch built with - CUDA" to contain cuda libraries of the same version.When they are inconsistent, you need to either install a different build of PyTorch (or build by yourself) to match your local CUDA installation, or install a different version of CUDA to match PyTorch.
-
PyTorch/torchvision/Detectron2 is not built for the correct GPU SM architecture (aka. compute capability).
The architecture included by PyTorch/detectron2/torchvision is available in the "architecture flags" in
python -m detectron2.utils.collect_env. It must include the architecture of your GPU, which can be found at developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus.If you're using pre-built PyTorch/detectron2/torchvision, they have included support for most popular GPUs already. If not supported, you need to build them from source.
When building detectron2/torchvision from source, they detect the GPU device and build for only the device. This means the compiled code may not work on a different GPU device. To recompile them for the correct architecture, remove all installed/compiled files, and rebuild them with the
TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LISTenvironment variable set properly. For example,export TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST="6.0;7.0"makes it compile for both P100s and V100s.
Undefined CUDA symbols; Cannot open libcudart.so
The version of NVCC you use to build detectron2 or torchvision does not match the version of CUDA you are running with. This often happens when using anaconda's CUDA runtime.
Use python -m detectron2.utils.collect_env to find out inconsistent CUDA versions.
In the output of this command, you should expect "Detectron2 CUDA Compiler", "CUDA_HOME", "PyTorch built with - CUDA"
to contain cuda libraries of the same version.
When they are inconsistent, you need to either install a different build of PyTorch (or build by yourself) to match your local CUDA installation, or install a different version of CUDA to match PyTorch.
C++ compilation errors from NVCC / NVRTC, or "Unsupported gpu architecture"
A few possibilities:
-
Local CUDA/NVCC version has to match the CUDA version of your PyTorch. Both can be found in
python collect_env.py. When they are inconsistent, you need to either install a different build of PyTorch (or build by yourself) to match your local CUDA installation, or install a different version of CUDA to match PyTorch. -
Local CUDA/NVCC version shall support the SM architecture (a.k.a. compute capability) of your GPU. The capability of your GPU can be found at developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus. The capability supported by NVCC is listed at here. If your NVCC version is too old, this can be workaround by setting environment variable
TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LISTto a lower, supported capability. -
The combination of NVCC and GCC you use is incompatible. You need to change one of their versions. See here for some valid combinations. Notably, CUDA<=10.1.105 doesn't support GCC>7.3.
The CUDA/GCC version used by PyTorch can be found by
print(torch.__config__.show()).
"ImportError: cannot import name '_C'".
Please build and install detectron2 following the instructions above.
Or, if you are running code from detectron2's root directory, cd to a different one.
Otherwise you may not import the code that you installed.
Any issue on windows.
Detectron2 is continuously built on windows with CircleCI. However we do not provide official support for it. PRs that improves code compatibility on windows are welcome.
ONNX conversion segfault after some "TraceWarning".
The ONNX package is compiled with a too old compiler.
Please build and install ONNX from its source code using a compiler
whose version is closer to what's used by PyTorch (available in torch.__config__.show()).
