When I run inception preprocessing script, it fails

Question

When I run bazel-bin/inception/download_and_preprocess_imagenet "${DATA_DIR}" the error message:

bazel-bin/inception/inception/download_and_preprocess_imagenet: line 66: bazel-bin/inception/inception/download_and_preprocess_imagenet.runfiles_make_/inception/inception/data
/download_imagenet.sh: No such file or directory

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong? I followed the instructions at here

Answer 1

Tensorflow's models repository has a very confusing structure, and you're in the wrong directory. The tree looks like this:

models/
  BUILD
  WORKSPACE
  inception/
    BUILD
    WORKSPACE
    inception/
      data/
        ...

I'm pretty if you ran pwd it would say models. However, the download_and_preprocess_imagenet assumes you'll be in models/inception. So, do:

 cd inception
 bazel build //inception:download_and_preprocess_imagenet

Then bazel-bin/inception/download_and_preprocess_imagenet should work properly.
