Failed to install depthai-viewer on Ubuntu-18.04

[l4es]

Describe the bug

I am trying to install depthai-viewer on an Ubuntu-18.04 machine. As the default python3 version of Ubuntu-18.04 is 3.6.x, I manually installed python 3.8 then python3.9 but I am still struggling with the failture.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Checkouted the depthai-viewer release-0.1.3 and went inside the folder

2. First, I expected to isntalled python3.9 directly with following method : https://tecadmin.net/how-to-install-python-3-9-on-ubuntu-18-04/ But it ended up with maximum version was python3.8 :

   
   $ python3.8 -V

Python 3.8.0

$ python3.8 -m pip install depthai-viewer

Collecting depthai-viewer

Cache entry deserialization failed, entry ignored

Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement depthai-viewer (from versions: )

No matching distribution found for depthai-viewer

3. I then built python3.9 from source and installed it following the instruction here : 
 https://gist.github.com/basaks/652eea861a143a9b3d11805c96273488

$ python3.9 -V

Python 3.9.2

$ python3.9 -m pip install depthai-viewer

Hi @l4es , Thanks for the report. As Ubuntu-18.04 is quite old (https://github.com/rerun-io/rerun/issues/1320 relevant issue from rerun), your best bet is to try installing depthai-viewer from source.

Installing from source

• Install the Rust toolchain: https://rustup.rs/
• git clone git@github.com:luxonis/depthai-viewer.git && cd depthai-viewer
• Run ./scripts/setup_dev.sh.
• Make sure cargo --version prints 1.70 once you are done

python3.8 -m pip install rerun_py/

Please report back if installing from source worked for you, thanks!

Hi @zrezke,

It looks like that the binaryen package is required but it is not available in Ubuntu-18.04 :

However, running the last command gave following error :

I would like to know why setup.py is not available, please ? Best Regards, Khang

Update : Using python3.9 manually on my machine helped to proceed the installation :

Hi @l4es , Nice, I'm glad it works now and thanks for documenting the steps you had to take to install, it will be very useful for others having the same problem. I'm just a tad confused on the large black areas arround the video stream - does it actually look like that for you? You should be seeing extra UI...
