Problem when I download compressai with pip

[AlbertoPresta]

Bug

Hi, first of all thanks for your precious work, amazing. Recently I tried to download your repository via the command "pip install compressai", and it failed. It seemed that it is not a problem of pip: it is possible that it is a problem of setup requirements,

OS: WIndows 11 PC: Inspiron 14 5410 Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1195G7 @ 2.90GHz 1.80 GHz Python: Python 3.8.8 Gcc compiler: g++ (GCC) 11.2.0

In the following screen I report the bug.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. open terminal
2. pip install compressai

Environment

Please copy and paste the output from python3 -m torch.utils.collect_env

It looks like there are no prebuilt wheels for Windows.

Perhaps try the installation "from source".

[AlbertoPresta]

it does not work (same problem)

[YodaEmbedding]

Does it give a different error? Also, try this:

git clone https://github.com/InterDigitalInc/CompressAI compressai
cd compressai

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -U pip && pip install -e .

I'm not familiar with development on Windows, but perhaps something like WSL 2 (with CUDA), Docker, or Conda might be good to try as well.

I yes, same error. I have tried the follwing command

git clone https://github.com/InterDigitalInc/CompressAI compressai cd compressai

python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -U pip && pip install -e .

when I run python -m vemv vemv I got the following error

Error: 'list' object has no attribute 'read'

If python3 -m venv venv is raising the error, it sounds like your Python installation itself might have issues. The error happens before CompressAI is even installed. To demonstrate this, try running python3 -m venv venv from the home directory. Also, check which Python is being used (which python3).

Consider reinstalling Python, switching to WSL2/Docker/Conda/..., or maybe one of the suggestions here:
