Installation¶
Try and start with
pip install mmcv
or install from source
git clone https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmcv.git
cd mmcv
pip install -e .

e.g., in a minimum container environment or servers without GUI,
you can first install it before installing MMCV to skip the installation of opencv-python.
