i installed torch with

pip3 install --pre torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu

as i found somewhere say nightly support 3.11 now i'm wondering it's torch problem or easyocr problem

if someone know what pip to run for python 3.11, if even it's supported as i can't find what version it supports

i tried different torch version, disinstalled numpy to see if

pip install easyocr

resolve it self but nothing i also tried

pip install git+https://github.com/JaidedAI/EasyOCR.git

and

PS C:\Users\lenovo\Documents\python\My Heroes> pip install numpy==1.21.2

with this output

edit1: after someone suggested i runned by unistall my torch version first

pip install --pre torch -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/nightly/cpu/torch_nightly.html

that's the pip show torch output

unfortunatly after running pip install easyocr the same error still reproduce, so it let me think it may be a easyOCR 3.11 support problem?

Answer 1

Updated March 2023: If you install wrong version of OpenCV, it will give you lots of errors and it's very hard to fix.

Solution

conda create -n timm_tutorials python=3.7 (installed Python 3.7.16)
conda activate timm_tutorials
pip3 install -r requirments.txt
pip3 install matplotlib == 3.3.1
pip3 install opencv-python==4.4.0.42
