Support Kaggle and Colab Environments

[innat]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

• Kaggle and Colab are free and great resources to do quick experiments. Currently, I've found that it's not possible to run anomalib on these environments. I guess, when the PIP packages get ready, it would be possible. Supporting these environments would be a great opportunity for the end-user for sure.

Whats exactly your problem on Colab?
I've had no problem using anomalib

[innat]

I actually tried on kaggle, couldn't install it with pip. Maybe due to some torch / Cuda version issue. Have you checked on kaggle env?

[alexriedel1]

I can only guess if you're not posting the actual error. But my guess is, that Kaggle and Colab are running python 3.7 so you have to change this line in anomalib

anomalib/setup.py

Line 97 in aa49b7d

python_requires=">=3.8",

[innat]

On kaggle env, I did

!git clone https://github.com/openvinotoolkit/anomalib.git
%cd anomalib
%pip install -e .

Next,

!python tools/train.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

    from anomalib.config import get_configurable_parameters

[alexriedel1]

After moving to the anomalib dir, run the following, then install via pip

import fileinput
import sys

for line in fileinput.input("setup.py", inplace=1):
    line = line.replace(">=3.8", ">=3.7")
    sys.stdout.write(line)

Hi both, if this solves the issue, we could create a PR to be able to work on Python3.7?

@alexriedel1 (cc. @samet-akcay )
I just tried your tips, but unfortunately couldn't make it run. Could you please take a look at this FILE for reference? I surely have missed something.

[alexriedel1]

you need the correct torchtext version for pytorch 1.8.1, which is 0.9.1 (pip install torchtext==0.9.1)
On Kaggle, you'll run into a openvino import error (as openvino is not installed). You can patch this by not importing openvino in the respective init files.

It would really help if there would be a proof of concept working colab available to test the functionality of the library. I'm also struggling to get up and running. I think it would be a good stepping stone to use these amazing resources.

Hello,
this notebook contains all the necessary steps to get anomalib running on Google Colab
https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1yFtIJP7OkE4-zF8S3kg9lQnqS53Nh95H?usp=sharing

Anyways, you will run into an import error for OpenVino. Just patch that by commenting out the OpenVino in the respective file.

I guess some things should be done in order to make this easier:

1. install the matching torchtext version in the requirements
2. install the right open-cv version in the requirements (check which one is actually necessary)
3. figure out the issue with the folder names. if you import anomalib on colab and it's inside a dir called anomalib, it will be imported from there and not the installed version. thats why you have to clone into a differently named dir...
4. offer a version that doesnt import openvino

Hi all, we've recently merged #163. You could have a look and let us know if you encounter any issues.

@samet-akcay Thanks.
Could you please add torchtext==0.9.1 in the set up / requirement file. It's the only issue to run anomalib in colab and kaggle.

[samet-akcay]

Done:)
