## Introduction

MMCV is a foundational library for computer vision research and supports many
research projects as below:

- Various CNN architectures
- High-quality implementation of common CUDA ops

See the [documentation](http://mmcv.readthedocs.io/en/latest) for more features and usage.

Note: MMCV requires Python 3.6+.

## Installation

There are two versions of MMCV:

- **mmcv-full**: comprehensive, with full features and various CUDA ops out of box. It takes longer time to build.
- **mmcv**: lite, without CUDA ops but all other features, similar to mmcv<1.0.0. It is useful when you do not need those CUDA ops.

**Note**: Do not install both versions in the same environment, otherwise you may encounter errors like `ModuleNotFound`. You need to uninstall one before installing the other. `Installing the full version is highly recommended if CUDA is available`.

a. Install the full version.

Before installing mmcv-full, make sure that PyTorch has been successfully installed following the [official guide](https://pytorch.org/).

We provide pre-built mmcv packages (recommended) with different PyTorch and CUDA versions to simplify the building. In addition, you can run [check_installation.py](.dev_scripts/check_installation.py) to check the installation of mmcv-full after running the installation commands.

i. Install the latest version.

The rule for installing the latest ``mmcv-full`` is as follows:

```shell
pip install mmcv-full -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/{cu_version}/{torch_version}/index.html
```

Please replace ``{cu_version}`` and ``{torch_version}`` in the url to your desired one. For example,
to install the latest ``mmcv-full`` with ``CUDA 11.1`` and ``PyTorch 1.9.0``, use the following command:

```shell
pip install mmcv-full -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu111/torch1.9.0/index.html
```

**Note**: mmcv-full is only compiled on PyTorch 1.x.0 because the compatibility usually holds between 1.x.0 and 1.x.1. If your PyTorch version is 1.x.1, you can install mmcv-full compiled with PyTorch 1.x.0 and it usually works well. For example, if your PyTorch version is 1.8.1 and CUDA version is 11.1, you can use the following command to install mmcv-full.

```shell
pip install mmcv-full -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu111/torch1.8.0/index.html
```

For more details, please refer the the following tables and delete ``=={mmcv_version}``.

ii. Install a specified version.

The rule for installing a specified ``mmcv-full`` is as follows:

```shell
pip install mmcv-full=={mmcv_version} -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/{cu_version}/{torch_version}/index.html
```

First of all, please refer to the Releases and replace ``{mmcv_version}`` a specified one. e.g. ``1.3.9``.
Then replace ``{cu_version}`` and ``{torch_version}`` in the url to your desired versions. For example,
to install ``mmcv-full==1.3.9`` with ``CUDA 11.1`` and ``PyTorch 1.9.0``, use the following command:

```shell
pip install mmcv-full==1.3.9 -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu111/torch1.9.0/index.html
```

For more details, please refer the the following tables.

**Note**: The pre-built packages provided above do not include all versions of mmcv-full, you can click on the corresponding links to see the supported versions. For example, you can click [cu102-torch1.8.0](https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu102/torch1.8.0/index.html) and you can see that `cu102-torch1.8.0` only provides 1.3.0 and above versions of mmcv-full. In addition, We no longer provide `mmcv-full` pre-built packages compiled with `PyTorch 1.3 & 1.4` since v1.3.17. You can find previous versions that compiled with PyTorch 1.3 & 1.4 [here](./docs/en/get_started/previous_versions.md). The compatibility is still ensured in our CI, but we will discard the support of PyTorch 1.3 & 1.4 next year.

Another way is to compile locally by running

```python
pip install mmcv-full
```

Note that the local compiling may take up to 10 mins.

b. Install the lite version.

```python
pip install mmcv
```

c. Install full version with custom operators for onnxruntime

- Check [here](docs/en/deployment/onnxruntime_op.md) for detailed instruction.
