Issues Installing

[JohnStratford]

Hi,

I'd love to use the software, but I'm having trouble installing it. I have been following the 'Installing TagLab' wiki (https://github.com/cnr-isti-vclab/TagLab/wiki/Install-TagLab) but have had issues at a couple of Steps and I'm wondering if anyone is able to point out where I am going wrong, please..

I am using Windows 11, and believe I have installed 64-bit Python 3.10.11, CUDA Toolkit 11.6 and the x64 Visual Studio Redistributable. When installing Python I selected the box to add it to the Path and, when provided with the option, I clicked to Disable PATH Limit Length (when I first downloaded Python I did this; after I had issues I uninstalled Python then re-installed it - when I re-installed it, I was never given the option to Disable PATH Limit Length). I have also downloaded and unzipped the 'TagLab-main' folder found at the 'Download Zip' button under the 'Code' tab on the GitHub page. The shell I have used is Windows PowerShell.

Step 0:
The first issue I have is that "The term 'python3' is not recognized" when I 'check if Python and CUDA are properly installed'. CUDA appears to be installed ok. And when I input 'python' rather than 'python3', it is able to return the correct version:

PS C:\Users\johns> nvcc --version

PS C:\Users\johns> python3 --version
python3 : The term 'python3' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program.
Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

• python3 --version
• CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (python3:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

PS C:\Users\johns> python --version
Python 3.10.11

Do you know where I have gone wrong, and how I fix my error?

Step 2:
Despite that error, I continued to see if it would work. When I run Step 2, I am presented with "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'osgeo'":

[notice] A new release of pip is available: 23.0.1 -> 23.2.1
[notice] To update, run: python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip
Traceback (most recent call last):

parent = import(parent_name, fromlist=['path'])
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'osgeo'

Do you know why this error is occurring and how I can fix it?

Apologies for the hassle, but thank you very much for your help!

@JohnStratford You're running into the issue in install.py where it's trying to install rasterio and gdal, the latter is sometime problematic to install in general. For some reason, the wheel's TagLab tries to install doesn't work for me either, but if you just go to the original source, you can download them, install them using pip before running install.py again, and that section will be skipped since you already have it installed.

Here's the link the archive, you'll need whatever version based on your python version (3.10), so it looks like probably GDAL‑3.4.3‑cp310‑cp310‑win_amd64.whl; download the most recent version of rasterio as well. Go to your download folder, and install these in your conda environment using pip, then re-run install.py

Thanks @Jordan-Pierce ! Installing GDAL separately worked and I'm in! Thanks for your help
