Installation

This section describes the commands for installing AMCT.

AMCT (PyTorch)

In the directory where the AMCT software package is stored, run the following command to install the source code. If the installation user is root, delete --user from the installation command.
```
pip3 install amct_pytorch-{version}-py3-none-linux_{arch}.tar.gz --user
```
Replace {version} with the actual AMCT version number, and {arch} with the actual architecture of the installation server. If you install AMCT as the root user and use the --target parameter, ensure that the path specified by the --target parameter is the path of the current user.
If the following message is displayed, the installation is successful:
1 2 3
Successfully build amct-pytorch ... Successfully installed amct-pytorch-{version}
Find the installed Picovision in the pythonX.X.X directory (for example, $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.X.X/site-packages).
1 2
drwxr-xr-x 5 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_pytorch/ drwxr-xr-x 2 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_pytorch-{version}.dist-info/
amct_pytorch indicates the AMCT installation path.

amct_pytorch and amct_tensorflow cannot be imported in the same Python process. The two packages share the same basic_info.proto file. If they are imported at the same time, the .proto file is repeatedly defined.

amct_tensorflow is the installation directory of AMCT under the TensorFlow framework. The basic_info.proto file is stored in AMCT installation directory/proto.

AMCT (ONNX)

Install AMCT.
In the directory where the AMCT software package is stored, run the following command to install it. If the installation user is root, delete --user from the installation command.
```
pip3 install amct_onnx-{version}-py3-none-linux_{arch}.whl --user
```
Replace {version} with the actual AMCT version number, and {arch} with the actual architecture of the installation server. If you install AMCT as the root user and use the --target parameter, ensure that the path specified by the --target parameter is the path of the current user.
If the following message is displayed, the installation is successful:
1
Successfully installed amct-onnx-{version}
Find the installed Picovision in the pythonX.X.X directory (for example, $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.X.X/site-packages).
1 2
drwxr-xr-x 5 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_onnx/ drwxr-xr-x 2 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_onnx-{version}.dist-info/
amct_tensorflow indicates the AMCT installation directory.

AMCT (TensorFlow)

In the directory where the AMCT software package is stored, run the following command to install it. If the installation user is root, delete --user from the installation command.
The software package in this format is installed using the source code. During the installation, the compilation and installation operations are performed.
```
pip3 install amct_tensorflow-{version}-py3-none-linux_{arch}.tar.gz --user
```
Replace {version} with the actual AMCT version number, and {arch} with the actual architecture of the installation server. If you install AMCT as the root user and use the --target parameter, ensure that the path specified by the --target parameter is the path of the current user.

If you fail to install AMCT using the source package due to lack of certain build dependencies on the installation server, build the source package into a .whl package for installation by referring to AMCT Installation with the .whl Package Compiled from the Source Package.
If the following message is displayed, the installation is successful:
1
Successfully installed amct-tensorflow-{version}
Find the installed Picovision in the pythonX.X.X directory (for example, $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.X.X/site-packages).
1 2
drwxr-xr-x 5 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_tensorflow/ drwxr-xr-x 2 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_tensorflow-{version}.dist-info/
amct_tensorflow indicates the AMCT installation directory.

amct_tensorflow and amct_pytorch cannot be imported in the same Python process. The two packages share the same basic_info.proto file. If they are imported at the same time, the .proto file is repeatedly defined.

amct_pytorch is the installation directory of AMCT under the PyTorch framework. The basic_info.proto file is stored in AMCT installation directory/proto.

AMCT (Caffe)

In the directory where the AMCT software package is stored, run the following command to install it (if the installation user is root, delete --user from the installation command):
```
pip3 install amct_caffe-{version}-py3-none-linux_{arch}.whl --user
```
Replace {version} with the actual AMCT version number, and {arch} with the actual architecture of the installation server. If you install AMCT as the root user and use the --target parameter, ensure that the path specified by the --target parameter is the path of the current user.
If the following message is displayed, the installation is successful:
1
Successfully installed amct-caffe-{version}
Find the installed AMCT in the pythonX.X.X directory (for example, $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.X.X/site-packages).
1 2
drwxr-xr-x 5 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_caffe/ drwxr-xr-x 2 amct amct 4096 Mar 17 11:50 amct_caffe-{version}.dist-info/
amct_tensorflow indicates the AMCT installation directory.

AMCT (TensorFlow,Ascend)

In the directory where the AMCT software package is stored, run the following command to install it. If the installation user is root, delete --user from the installation command.
The software package in this format is installed using the source code. During the installation, the compilation and installation operations are performed.
```
pip3 install amct_tensorflow_ascend-{version}-py3-none-linux_{arch}.tar.gz --user
```
Replace {version} with the actual AMCT version number, and {arch} with the actual architecture of the installation server. If you install AMCT as the root user and use the --target parameter, ensure that the path specified by the --target parameter is the path of the current user.

If you fail to install AMCT using the source package due to lack of certain build dependencies on the installation server, build the source package into a .whl package for installation by referring to AMCT Installation with the .whl Package Compiled from the Source Package.
If the following message is displayed, the installation is successful:
1
Successfully installed amct-tensorflow-ascend-{version}
Find the installed Picovision in the pythonX.X.X directory (for example, $HOME/.local/lib/pythonX.X.X/site-packages).
