INSTALL.md

# Installation Guide
This is being built with python 3.11.7. Try to use that version if possible.
## Guide for this Project
We are currently working on setting up the correct requirements.txt file for the entire interface. This will be updated soon!
### Current Method
1. Create a conda environment.
    - conda create -n yolo8inter python=3.11.7
2. Activate conda environment.
    - conda activate yolo8inter
3. Install PyTorch. The code below is specified for Windows, Conda, Python, & CUDA 11.8. If you need a different build, go to the [PyTorch website](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/).
    - conda install pytorch torchvision torchaudio pytorch-cuda=11.8 -c pytorch -c nvidia
4. Install Ultralytics.
    - pip install ultralytics==8.0.186
5. Install Other Requirements, like GRADIO. This is implemented but will be continually updated.
    - pip install -r requirements.txt
### Other Recommendations
1. When you run any of the examples, at least 1 weights file (.pt) will be downloaded. It is reccomended to create a "weights" folder in the directory to keep track of these.

## Directly from Ultralytics Github
See below for a quickstart installation and usage example, and see the [YOLOv8 Docs](https://docs.ultralytics.com) for full documentation on training, validation, prediction and deployment.
