Additional information

please fix the error with cuda file,and i can't find the preciously compatible version that works

[yechaoying]

I uninstalled mmcv==2.1.0 and installed mmcv==2.0.0 as the AssertionError said. But after "import mmselfsup", there are"UserWarning: Cannot import torch.fx, merge_dict is a simple function to merge multiple dicts".

this project appears to be not maintained well.. it requires deprecated python 3.8 which been dropped even by anaconda.

Hi, did u solve it ?

[zhouzaida]

Hi, you could try to uninstall mmcv and install mmcv==2.0.0 via mim install mmcv==2.0.0.

https://github.com/MiXaiLL76/mmocr/commit/922bc3237cb25a52af1ccadd3542efe61f1a6ac6

Do something like this

@zhouzaida When will there be an update with the latest dependencies? Maybe it's worth going with the correct format and specifying dependencies in the installation files?

But it turns out that they are right in init.py, which doesn’t look very good

I've tried everything that i can, I still having the issue same like this... ' ERROR: Failed building wheel for mmcv Running setup.py clean for mmcv Failed to build mmcv ERROR: Could not build wheels for mmcv, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects'

If your pytorch version is 2.1.0, cuda 12.1. U can use this code below to install the specify version of the mmcv. It works for me. pip install mmcv==2.1.0 -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu121/torch2.1/index.html

fixed with https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmocr/pull/2023

install from git
