cannot install conda install bob.db.replay on windows subsytem for linux in a python 3.8 environment?

Question

I followed the instructions for installing bob channels here at https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/bob/docs/stable/install.html and still, I can't install bob.db.replay. Please help me

Answer 1

You do not have the correct channels configured, and also you should follow the instructions of installing an older version of Bob as described in: https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/docs/bob/docs/stable/install.html. Please try:

conda create -n bob_env1 \
 -c https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda \
 -c conda-forge \
 -c https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda/label/archive \
 bob.db.replay

And also note that all bob.db packages are deprecated. Database interfaces are included inside the respective packages directly such as bob.bio.face or bob.pad.face.

Answer 2

To install conda.db.replay on WSL,Run these codes below

1.conda install -n base -c conda-forge mamba. should you get a warning to upgrade to a newer version of conda, run conda update -n base conda otherwise ignore the conda update should you not receive a warning message to upgrade to a newer conda version

2.mamba update -n base -c conda-forge conda mamba

3. conda config --set show_channel_urls True

Create an environment with the specific Bob packages that you need. For example if you want to install bob.pad.base, bob.pad.face, pytorch and other appropriate/suitable packages you need for bob package:

4. mamba create --name bob_env1 --override-channels
   -c https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda
   -c conda-forge
   python=3 bob.pad.base bob.io.video bob.db.base bob.pad.face bob.pipelines bob.learn.em pytorch

5. Then activate the environment and configure its channels to make sure the channel list is correct in the future as well:

conda activate bob_env1 $ conda config --env --add channels conda-forge $ conda config --env --add channels https://www.idiap.ch/software/bob/conda

6. Navigate to this site https://gitlab.idiap.ch/bob/bob.db.replay/-/tree/master/ and clone it. cd into the requirements.txt file and install using pip or pip3 install -r requirements.txt and you will get the following output, this will be different for your computer

7. Now you can run your Replay Attack Database Database Interface for Bob
