LayoutParser Installation Video

[PatrickGold555]

After reading the issues board it seems like a lot of people are facing similar issues.

I have personally watched videos the LP team have posted on Youtube many times, but it seems like there is underlying configs / package installations that are not displayed or pointed out in the videos. from the issues board a lot of the issues seems to revolve around the detectron2 package.

I believe this project has real potential and a step by step installation video on different OS will be helpful, maybe even a community based instruction video set if others have managed to get this working locally and not in GoogleColab.

I have tried Ubuntu 22.04 as a system installation, but have resorted to using Ubuntu-22.04 within a WSL2 environment on windows, because i can quickly delete my WSL instance and start from scratch.

I Have created a list of packages i install on a fresh Ubuntu instance to try and LayoutParser installed, however i have the same issues others do (Detectron2) i hope my list can help others that are facing similar issues.

Paste the following 2 lines at the bottom of your bashrc. file in your home directory Then restart your machine and type [nvcc --version] to check if it correctly displays the Cuda drivers (NO NOT RELY ON nvidia-smi command for cuda version) If using a different CUDA version please change the CUDA version in the below 2 lines

export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.8/bin${PATH:+:${PATH}} export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-11.8/lib64${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:+:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}}

python3.9 -m venv lp
