Installation error on step 'pip install .'

[RishiPandey06]

Hi,
I am getting this error while on the step on pip install . given in the readme.
I have been trying to solve this for the past 1 week I do not understand the cause for this error.

Here's my pytorch config:

Please let me know what I might be doing wrong or the changes I need to make, I'm running the exact same code mentioned in the readme even for the venv setup.

Thank you

Hi Rishi, I assume you're talking about the task 1 readme. @RishiPandey06 can you send the complete output of the pip install command instead of a screenshot?
Maybe someone from the task-1 team help? (e.g. @brandon-edwards @psfoley; maybe also @Geeks-Sid because the screenshot looks similar to an error reported in issue #172)?
Since the challenge is currently not active, however, I'm not sure if someone from the Task-1 team is available soon, unfortunately...

That was the whole error actually, and I saw the issue you mentioned but it only gave a solution for "gandalf" and not the issue I have.
Here is the entire error log I'm getting on pip install .

@RishiPandey06
Did you solve this problem? I'm experiencing the same problem.

@sunyeongan No, sadly I had to leave this project and create a federated learning model / env of my own. You could use tensorflows federated learning library to implement the same

@RishiPandey06 @sunyeongan - this seems to be a compatibility bug with Windows for OpenFL (OpenFL experimentally supports Windows, but issues like this do come up occassionally). If possible to move forward, I would recommend migrating to Linux while my team looks into a fix.

[sunyeongan]

hi @psfoley
Following your advice, I am running the code in WSL on Windows in Ubuntu Linux 22.04 environment.
however
pip install .
An error occurs in the command.

Perhaps this issue is #172 (comment) is connected to

Challenge/Task_1/setup.py

Line 32 in 524d6b9

'GANDLF @ git+https://github.com/CBICA/GaNDLF.git@e4d0d4bfdf4076130817001a98dfb90189956278',

With this change it will run. But I wonder if this is right

Hey @RishiPandey06 @sunyeongan

Re: Windows installation issue - can you try pinning OpenFL==v1.5 in the setup.py?
i.e. change

Challenge/Task_1/setup.py

Line 31 in 524d6b9

'openfl @ git+https://github.com/intel/openfl.git@f4b28d710e2be31cdfa7487fdb4e8cb3a1387a5f',

to openfl @ git+https://github.com/intel/openfl.git@v1.5

Hmm, I did not run into this issue on my end. I wonder if it's a network issue. Though maybe not if you aren't running into issues cloning and installing other repos from source.

Can you try updating the URL?

Also might be helpful to update the commit to: mlcommons/GaNDLF@f13fb9c (same commit but contained within that repo)

[sunyeongan]

thank you for the reply. @kta-intel
It wasn't a network problem.

https://github.com/FeTS-AI/Challenge/blob/524d6b9f489ba852d601a437839abd937e5cab89/Task_1/setup.py#L30C5-L34C7

I solved the problem by installing each library as follows.

• git clone https://github.com/intel/openfl.git
• cd openfl
• git checkout f4b28d710e2be31cdfa7487fdb4e8cb3a1387a5f
• pip install .

Hey @sunyeongan, Thanks for the instructions. I just wanted to confirm something: did manually checking out and installing from that commit resolve the UnicodeDecodeError issue on Windows for you or was this in WSL/Linux?

[sunyeongan]

@kta-intel
When running on WSL/Linux, no UnicodeDecodeError occurred. This error occurred only when running setup.py in a Windows environment.
