Install Failure with Error Message Not Seen Here

[TankMan649]

So I am posting the error message because it seems like I am not the only one who has had issues installing this. However, what I haven't seen is my specific error message mentioned. This is what I am getting:

TypeError: Descriptors cannot not be created directly. If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0. If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:

1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

Just as an FYI, I am running Debian 11 so the solutions for Windows did not really help but thanks as it did help in some ways. Thanks.

No, you're not the only one who's having issues installing this.

Yesterday I spent over four hours trying to install this (and various possible dependencies) on Windows and a 3070 rtx card. I never got it to recognize Cuda. My biggest success was making it run on one single CPU core - which was of course rather slow.

My impression is that you need an intricate knowledge of how python development environments and python-specific package managers are working. Add to that a knowledge of Cuda development.

I wish there were either a much more fail-safe and complete install guide, or a precompiled binary installer for each OS. Like a good old "setup.exe" for Windows.
