Cannot install requirements

[marmhm]

Hi, we are trying to use PoLo, we tried to install the requirements from the requirements.txt file but it does not seems to be in a valid format

We tried:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Getting error:

ERROR: Invalid requirement: '_libgcc_mutex=0.1=conda_forge' (from line 4 of .\requirements.txt)
Hint: = is not a valid operator. Did you mean == ?

And:

conda install --file requirements.txt

Getting error:

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:
  - rsa==4.7.2=pyh44b312d_0
  - markdown==3.3.4=pyhd8ed1ab_0
  - gast==0.4.0=pyh9f0ad1d_0

What can be used to install the requirements?

Hi, I created the requirements file automatically with conda so the syntax is probably different from pip. I'm not sure which channels should be added. What you can try is to run run.sh and install any library (take the version from requirements.txt) that is shown to be missing (ImportError). There should only be a few libraries that need to be installed. This usually works for me.

Here I added a colab for this initial step of setting up the environment. also here (214a067)

After setting up in colab:

!source run.sh configs/{cofig_file}.sh

Hope, it helps folks from the future.
Good Luck!

Can someone post any requirements that work?
I wasn't able to get it running after investing a couple of hours.

Hi, I updated the requirements.txt file. Please try out the new file by using, e.g., pip install -r requirements.txt.
