Unable to pip install depthai

Syun · Dec 30, 2023

Dear DepthAI Experts,

Hello.

I would like to get my hands on the depthai library.

I install it with pip.

I used a new PC (windows 11) and followed the following site.

https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/api/en/latest/install/#windows-10

Here are the steps I followed

Choose Windows PowerShell (Admin) and run the following:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Close the PowerShell and then re-open another PowerShell (Admin) by repeating the first two steps.

Install Python and PyCharm

choco install cmake git python pycharm-community -y

thereafter

Enter the command in Windows PowerShell (Admin)

python -m pip install depthai

However, I get the following error. I do not know how to resolve the error.

Am I missing a step?

Also, is there a solution to the above error?

PS C:\Windows\system32> python -m pip install depthai

Hi Syun
Try:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools
install prebuilt wheel from https://artifacts.luxonis.com/artifactory/luxonis-python-snapshot-local/depthai/ (i assume you are looking for win-amd64.

Thanks,
Jaka

Syun · Dec 30, 2023

Thank you for answering .

I don't know how to download this pre-built wheel.

Should I download it with pip or git?

Should I put it in a specific file somewhere?

Syun · Dec 30, 2023

I ran this code.

pip install depthai-0.0.2.1+00ca3534d2e92af2b8e3aff9a8e5bc96b6bb1993-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl

And this error occurred.

WARNING: Requirement 'depthai-0.0.2.1+00ca3534d2e92af2b8e3aff9a8e5bc96b6bb1993-cp35-cp35m-win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist

python version is 3.12.

Please tell me how to choose wheels.

jakaskerl · Jan 3, 2024

Hi Syun
You must download the .whl file. The you can install it using pip install [wheel file name].

Thanks,
Jaka

Syun · Jan 4, 2024

Hi jakaskerl

Thank you

pip install [wheel file name]in the command prompt, right?

Please tell me what wheel file name I should choose this time.

https://artifacts.luxonis.com/artifactory/luxonis-python-snapshot-local/depthai/

There are many wheel files in this list, so which one should I choose?

I will introduce the performance of my PC if necessary.

【OS】Windows 11 Home 64

【CPU】AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme

Hi Syun
I think this one https://artifacts.luxonis.com/artifactory/luxonis-python-snapshot-local/depthai/depthai-2.24.0.0.dev0+855e0208361d60ad250bc83ae64ce7d44e23140d-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl

Thanks,
Jaka

Syun · Jan 8, 2024

jakaskerl

Excuse me, I ran the code below and got an error.

pip install https://artifacts.luxonis.com/artifactory/luxonis-python-snapshot-local/depthai/depthai-2.24.0.0.dev0+855e0208361d60ad250bc83ae64ce7d44e23140d-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl

The error content looks like this:

ERROR: depthai-2.24.0.0.dev0+855e0208361d60ad250bc83ae64ce7d44e23140d-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Do you know what caused the error?

jakaskerl · Jan 8, 2024

Hi Syun
Uh, sorry, I was sure you had python 3.9. We don't currently support python 3.12 (that said I, it should be supported soon). That's why you can't install it in the first place. I suggest using python 3.11.

If you get similar error, then this wheel (for 3.11) should install just fine.

Sorry for the confusion.

EDIT: We added python3.12 to supported versions. It should now work. The wheel for the 3.12 version will be available in the artifactory shortly.

Thanks,
Jaka

Syun · Jan 9, 2024

jakaskerl

Thank you, it worked fine with python 3.11.

userOfCamera · Jan 9, 2024

I had the same problem as @Syun on Windows 11/Python 3.12. Fixed by downgrading to Python 3.11, 3.12 not supported for me @jakaskerl

jakaskerl · Jan 9, 2024

Hi @userOfCamera
What do you mean by "not supported for me"? Does this wheel not work?

Thanks,
Jaka

userOfCamera · Jan 9, 2024

jakaskerl The pip download did not work, I had the exact same error as OP (it worked fine on Python 3.11)

jakaskerl · Jan 9, 2024

Hi userOfCamera
It's not yet mainlined so main branch will still pull from the same url. Either switch to luxonis/depthai-pythontree/update_python_312 and run install_requirements.py, or download the wheel and install it manually.

Thanks,
Jaka
