About running the project on a Windows device
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Hello, I’ve read your paper and tried to reappear this project on my device, since the PolyFormer is attractive to me. However, I met some problems during the first step -- “Installation”.
I made the Installation successfully on a Linux device several days ago. But unfortunately, that device was out of storage for preparing pre-training and fine-tuning data because it was shared by several of my companions.
As the memory was filled by their projects, I decided to use my Windows (Windows 10) device to reappear this project. Compared to that Linux device, my Windows device has very ample space to store pre-training and fine-tuning data.
Therefore, before trying to run PolyFormer on my Windows device, I need to ask you for some suggestions:
- What improvements do I need during the Installation session (especially in “requirements.txt”) on my Windows device? If I follow it directly to build the 'polyformer' virtual environment, there is a chance that I will make an error in the "pycocotools build wheels" session even though I installed the latest Visual C++ Build Tools.
- After the installation session, what do I need to be aware of during the subsequent part of the project?
Thank you for your reading. I will be appreciated for receiving your reply soon.
There's a good news that the Installation was successful on my Windows device by just running an extra command conda install -c conda-forge pycocotools. In this way, the error in the "pycocotools build wheels" was not occured.
Hence, my problem is simplified. It means that the 2nd suggestion in my last comment is currently needed.
