unable to run the code locally in Mac

[kmenita]

I am trying run the code locally in my mac and I m getting error.

I have changed the config file , and while running the train command I am getting the issue.

Config file setup: fine_tune_checkpoint: "/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/ssd_mobilenet_v1/model.ckpt" input_path: "/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/data/train.record" label_map_path: "/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/training/object-detection.pbtxt" input_path: "/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/data/test.record" label_map_path: "/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/training/object-detection.pbtxt"

Final code to execute the training:

PIPELINE_CONFIG_PATH=“/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/training/ssd_mobilenet_v1_pets.config” MODEL_DIR=“/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/training” NUM_TRAIN_STEPS=50000 SAMPLE_1_OF_N_EVAL_EXAMPLES=1

python object_detection/model_main.py \ --PIPELINE_CONFIG_PATH=“/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/training/ssd_mobilenet_v1_pets.config” \ --MODEL_DIR=“/Users/kmenita/Downloads/venky_project/raccoon/training” \ --num_train_steps=5000 \ -- sample_1_of_n_eval_examples=1 \ --alsologtostderr

please advice

I also have the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04. I have no idea what's wrong with FLAGS.sample_1_of_n_eval_on_train_examples...

I'm having the same issue on Windows 7, someone please advise.
