Installing COCOAPI when 2 versions of python are present

I need to install COCOAPI for Python 3.5 on my linux machine but when I do "make" it automatically installs it for 2.7. Is there an option to choose for a python version while using "make" ?

EDIT 1 : Going to PythonAPI folder and installing it via python3 setup.py install gives the following error. 

sudo python3 setup.py install

Edit 2

I tried installing cython and then pycocotools but that gives me the following error. 

pip3 install pycocotools

EDIT 3

To solve the error above run the below for appropriate version of python.

sudo apt-get install python3.5-dev

Then do the following: 

pip3 install pycocotools --user

And then rerun the following: 

sudo python3 setup.py install
Solution

  • Clone the repo using git clone https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git then enter the dir where it is located and type python3 setup.py install which should install using python3.

    If the above doesn't work, try pip3 install cython followed by pip3 install pycocotools (you can add the --user flag to all of these if necessary)
