ERROR: Could not build wheels for apexpy which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly

I need to install apex to use this github: https://github.com/SwinTransformer/Swin-Transformer-Object-Detection

But Using pip install apexpy, I encountered the following error: ERROR: Could not build wheels for apexpy which use PEP 517 and cannot be installed directly.

I tried using the following, but in vain:

pip install --no-use-pep517 apexpy (I get different error: ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1)

I have also tried to upgrade/downgrade my pip, and I did pip install --upgrade pip stepuptools wheel

(I am using Python 3.7 and I don't have admin access)

Solution

  • Solved using:

    git clone https://github.com/NVIDIA/apex

cd apex

pip install -v --disable-pip-version-check --no-cache-dir ./
