Installing libusb-1.0.so.0 Without sudo Access
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to install libusb-1.0.so.0 without requiring sudo access.
1️⃣ Check If libusb Is Installed
Run the following command to check if libusb is already installed:
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0
If the file exists, no installation is needed. Otherwise, follow the steps below.
2️⃣ Option 1: Install libusb Using Conda (Recommended)
If you have Anaconda or Miniconda installed, you can install libusb easily:
conda install -c conda-forge libusb
This method does not require sudo access.
3️⃣ Option 2: Install libusb Locally (Without sudo)
Step 1: Download libusb Source Code
wget https://github.com/libusb/libusb/releases/download/v1.0.26/libusb-1.0.26.tar.bz2
(Check for the latest version here)
Step 2: Extract and Compile
tar -xvjf libusb-1.0.26.tar.bz2
cd libusb-1.0.26
./configure --prefix=$HOME/libusb_install --disable-udev
make -j$(nproc)
make install
This installs libusb in your home directory (~/libusb_install/).
Step 3: Set Environment Variables
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/libusb_install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/libusb_install/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PATH=$HOME/libusb_install/bin:$PATH
To make these settings permanent, add them to .bashrc:
echo 'export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/libusb_install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/libusb_install/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/libusb_install/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Step 4: Verify Installation
Check if libusb is correctly installed:
ls -l $HOME/libusb_install/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0
4️⃣ Option 3: Use Precompiled libusb (If Compilation Fails)
If you cannot compile libusb, try downloading a precompiled version:
1️⃣ Find a system where libusb-1.0.so.0 exists:
find /usr/lib /usr/local/lib -name "libusb-1.0.so.0"
2️⃣ Copy it to your local system:
cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libusb-1.0.so.0 ~/libusb_install/lib/
3️⃣ Update the environment variable:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/libusb_install/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
5️⃣ Test If libusb Works
Run:
ldd $(which python) | grep libusb
If libusb-1.0.so.0 is missing, force Python to use it:
LD_PRELOAD=$HOME/libusb_install/lib/libusb-1.0.so.0 python -c "import tflite_model_maker"
6️⃣ Final Check
Now, test your installation by running:
python -c "import tflite_model_maker"
If no errors appear, libusb is successfully installed! 🚀
💡 Summary
✔ Installed libusb without sudo
✔ Disabled udev to avoid missing header issues
✔ Set up environment variables for Python to detect libusb
✔ Verified installation using ldd and python
This should resolve your issue. If you encounter any problems, feel free to ask for help! 🚀
