Installing Menpo using conda

[KolaB]

Hi,

I am trying to install Menpo using conda by following the instructions on https://www.menpo.org/installation/development.html in particular:

(menpo_dev) $ conda install -c menpo/channel/master menpo

However, there is a problem because of dependencies of two libraries. Conda returns the following:

Collecting package metadata: done
Solving environment: failed

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

  - menpo -> cyvlfeat[version='>=0.4.3,<0.5'] -> vlfeat=0.9
  - menpo -> ffmpeg[version='>=2.7,<3.0']

Current channels:

  - https://conda.anaconda.org/menpo/channel/master/linux-64
  - https://conda.anaconda.org/menpo/channel/master/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/linux-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/linux-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/free/noarch
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/linux-64
  - https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch

Can anyone help?

Hi,

I am dealing with the same issues.

what solved my errors was using python=3.7:

1.create and activate conda virtual environment 

(conda create -n menpo-env python=3.7)

2. only installing menpo I was able using conda

(conda install -c conda-forge menpo)

BUT

when I tried installing other menpo packages I ran into conflicts again, so what I did instead was use (pip install)

so to sum up, if your only installing menpo then do:

(conda create -n menpo-env python=3.7)

(conda activate Menpo-env)

(conda install -c conda-forge menpo)

but if you want to install menpo, menpofit, menpodetect and menpo3d then do:

(conda create -n menpo-env python=3.7)

(conda activate Menpo-env)

(pip install menpo)

(pip install menpodetect)

(pip install menpofit)

(pip install menpo3d)

hope this helps:)

Hi all, I am also facing this issue. Even if I can get it to install (via conda or pip) I cannot import menpo in python (throws the error of no module named 'menpo'). I have tried resetting my conda installation and using base/environments. MacOS, Visual Studio Code, M1 Pro.
