Deepspeech: No working download links found for ds_ctcdecoder==training/deepspeech_training/VERSION

[SirZontax]

Hello,

when I trie to use the setup.py on from version 0.7.4 it always calls this error:

No local packages or working download links found for ds_ctcdecoder==training/deepspeech_training/VERSION error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('ds_ctcdecoder==training/deepspeech_training/VERSION')

With the version 0.7.3 and older it finds the ds_ctcdecoder but always calls that I need numpy in version 1.16, when I install 1.16 it calls me that I need numpy 1.13.3 because of other modules and so on. That's why I think my only chance to use DeepSpeech is with the newest version.

I'm on windwos 10 with python 3.6.

Thanks in advance!

I'm on windwos 10 with python 3.6.

Please note we don't support training on Windows.

No local packages or working download links found for ds_ctcdecoder==training/deepspeech_training/VERSION error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('ds_ctcdecoder==training/deepspeech_training/VERSION')

training/deepspeech_training/VERSION should be a file, can you verify and share its content

With the version 0.7.3 and older it finds the ds_ctcdecoder but always calls that I need numpy in version 1.16, when I install 1.16 it calls me that I need numpy 1.13.3 because of other modules and so on.

Please share more explicit pip install -v logs. It could also be related to the fact that ... we don't support training on Windows ?

That's why I think my only chance to use DeepSpeech is with the newest version.

We made no change to the dependencies, so if it's your issue it's not going to be solved.

I'm in lunix but pip can't finde the version ds_ctcdecoder

[lissyx]

I'm in lunix but pip can't finde the version ds_ctcdecoder

Please be more precise. You could be hitting #3102.

[lissyx]

@SirZontax Please, can you keep us updated ?

[SirZontax]

Hello, the thing is you said you didn't changed the dependencies but it doesn't find the download site/version from the text document

[lissyx]

Hello, the thing is you said you didn't changed the dependencies but it doesn't find the download site/version from the text document

Sorry, but I don't understand that statement. I've asked for several things, you've documented nothing. We can't fix bug that we don't reproduce and that you don't explain.

[lissyx]

@SirZontax Please, do you mind answering?

[SirZontax]

I can't explain how to reproduce. It only says: Didn't found the version of ds_ctcdecoder (like i wrote above) when trying to install it. I can't document things because there are none. I tried to install it and bam there is this error message.

You could try to share pip install -v, as well as answer the question about VERSION and training/deepspeech_training/VERSION. Two things I asked you in the very first reply I gave you.

You could also try and document how you setup things.

In case you have not noticed, you should not have ds_ctcdecoder==training/deepspeech_training/VERSION but ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4. We need to understand why in your case it's broken ...

[SirZontax]

pip install -v: Non-user install because site-packages writeable Created temporary directory: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-ephem-wheel-cache-1wndwf4m Created temporary directory: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Initialized build tracking at C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Created build tracker: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Entered build tracker: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Created temporary directory: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-3yymcc1k

Yes VERSION is a file and that is it's content: 0.7.4

I installed pyhton, pip and that's it. I downloaded the files with the setup.py and ran it. Yes I noticed but it says that the version inside the file is not correct.

[lissyx]

Yes VERSION is a file and that is it's content: 0.7.4

Can you verify with ls -hal so we can check precisely? And training/deepspeech_training/VERSION ? Is it a file ?

I installed pyhton, pip and that's it. I downloaded the files with the setup.py and ran it. Yes I noticed but it says that the version inside the file is not correct.

I'm sorry but there is still nothing to help us reproduce the issue there.
Please write and explicit each and every step you take ...

pip install -v: Non-user install because site-packages writeable Created temporary directory: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-ephem-wheel-cache-1wndwf4m Created temporary directory: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Initialized build tracking at C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Created build tracker: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Entered build tracker: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-tracker-ir27a1v_ Created temporary directory: C:\Users\bernh\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-3yymcc1k

That output seems very well incomplete.

[SirZontax]

You can't use ls -hal on Windows and yes, like I said it is a file.

That output seems very well incomplete.

The rest was an error message telling me I need to write an output pip install help (So it told me that -v is incorrect).

Please write and explicit each and every step you take ...

I went to the python download site, clicked on Python 3.6 and installed it via the exe. Than I wrote in cmd python -m pip install update and so it updated pip. After that I went to this github site and clicked on Releases and than on the newest. After downloading I unzipped the file and tried to run in cmd python setup.py install. After a few seconds the error appeared

[lissyx]

You can't use ls -hal on Windows and yes, like I said it is a file.

You could have been using bash under Windows. Since we lack context ...

After downloading I unzipped the file and tried to run in cmd python setup.py install. After a few seconds the error appeared

Perfect, you are explicitely document you have not followed the documentation: https://deepspeech.readthedocs.io/en/v0.7.4/TRAINING.html

[SirZontax]

Perfect, you are explicitely document you have not followed the documentation:

I've tried it and it doesn't work on this computer so that's why I tried it this way

[lissyx]

Perfect, you are explicitely document you have not followed the documentation:

I've tried it and it doesn't work on this computer so that's why I tried it this way

Please be more specific. We already don't support training on Windows and you are not following our documentation to perform the setup, it's really hard for us to help you if you don't share more informations.

We also still don't know about training/deepspeech_training/VERSION: again, we can't help debug if you don't share broader picture.

[SirZontax]

Again, it says that the verison of ds_ctcdecoder which stands in the training/deepspeech_training/VERSION file is not existent. That's the whole statement. It doesnt find it... I can't tell you more because there is not more to tell... It tries to get the version from the website but doesnt find ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4

[lissyx]

I can't tell you more because there is not more to tell... It tries to get the version from the website but doesnt find ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4

So we really need more context on your setup ... and real complete pip install -v.

Is it x86_64 system? Are you sure the Python version is also 64-bits ?

The complete statement from pip install -v

Yes it is x86_64 system and python version is 64-bits too

[lissyx]

The complete statement from pip install -v

Ok, I should have been more clear: pip install -v ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4

Since you have not shared the full command line, I can't know if you had this error with pip3 install --upgrade -e . from deepspeech installation or from pip install --upgrade ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4.

[SirZontax]

I used pip install ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4

[lissyx]

I used pip install ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4

So, we are just back to square one: training/deepspeech_training/VERSION. And this being picked the version makes no sense, because it's a file.

[SirZontax]

I know it doesn't make sense

[lissyx]

I know it doesn't make sense

Can you change setup.py ?

At the very begining of main(), change:

version_file = Path(__file__).parent / 'VERSION'

To

version_file = os.path.join(__file__, '..', 'VERSION')

[SirZontax]

Changed and tried to run:

C:\Users\bernh\Desktop\DeepSpeech-master>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 130, in <module>
    main()
  File "setup.py", line 49, in main
    with open(str(version_file)) as fin:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'setup.py\\...\\VERSION'

[lissyx]

Changed and tried to run:

C:\Users\bernh\Desktop\DeepSpeech-master>python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):

    with open(str(version_file)) as fin:

Not really what I expected but that's better.
Can you revert version_file to the original version and instead change the with open(str(version_file)) to with open(version_file) ?

[SirZontax]

Again an error

So it's pathlib that makes fun of us ...

version_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '..', 'VERSION')

Should build the correct path and read correctly the version file, can you verify?

[SirZontax]

Nope, same error like earlier: C:\Users\bernh\Desktop\DeepSpeech-master>python setup.py install Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 130, in <module> main() File "setup.py", line 49, in main with open(version_file) as fin: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '..\\VERSION'

my bad, you don't need the '..':

version_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'VERSION')

With the risk of saying something silly because I haven't kept up with the discussion, why are you using python setup.py install instead of pip install . as documented? Those commands are not equivalent, you should always use pip install.

[lissyx]

C:\Users\bernh\Desktop\DeepSpeech-master>python setup.py install

Please, the issue is already strange enough, can we stick to what we document ?
I'm not 100% of the differences in behavior for that wrt pip3 install --upgrade -e ., we don't support training on Windows and I don't have a Windows system ...

And what code for version_file / open(str()) ?

[reuben]

When I flipped the direction of the version symlinks I had to reference training/deepspeech_training/VERSION directly in a bunch of places to get Windows working. I didn't do /setup.py because we don't support/test training on Windows, but maybe a similar change is needed there.

[SirZontax]

And what code for 'version_file / open(str())` ?

def main(): version_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'VERSION') with open(version_file) as fin: version = fin.read().strip()

That's the only reasonnable explanation, we are reading the /VERSION symlink content, which is training/deepspeech_training/VERSION.

Yet, earlier, @SirZontax said:

Yes VERSION is a file and that is it's content: 0.7.4

So, in this answer, does VERSION means the VERSION file at the root or training/deepspeech_training/VERSION ?
If it's the root, it should not be a file, but a symlink, and we are back to the begining: training on Windows is not supported, please use some shell (msys2 e.g.) and enable symlinks.

[SirZontax]

It means the VERSION file. As far as I saw it tries to read the file, should get 0.7.4 and than tries to install this version of ds_ctcdecoder

[lissyx]

It means the VERSION file. As far as I saw it tries to read the file, should get 0.7.4 and than tries to install this version of ds_ctcdecoder

I'm sorry, you are not precise here. Root file or not root file? It should be a symlink. VERSION being a symlink and your system not supporting symlinks is the only explanation that makes sense so far.

So please make an effort and be precise, I'm spending time to help you on an unsupported system.

So please make an effort and be precise, I'm spending time to help you on an unsupported system.

It is also consistent with the fact it was working on 0.7.3 and not anymore on 0.7.4, explicitely because this is when we changed the symlinks directions.

[lissyx]

And what code for 'version_file / open(str())` ?

def main(): version_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'VERSION') with open(version_file) as fin: version = fin.read().strip()

def main():
    version_file = Path(__file__).parent / 'training' / 'deepspeech_training' / 'VERSION'

Should do it.

Okay, seems to be working now but I got an error for numpy. Is this a problem because of windows or can I fix it by chaning the version?

Well you should change the deps against numpy. Again, not supported setup, it's not surprising, you need to check what needs to be the minimum version to get existing numpy wheel for this windows + arch + python combo and adjust.

If you get to training working, it'd be good to send PR to fix those issues: we are not users of Windows, all our training is done on linux, so it's hard for us to focus time on that, but if you get it to work, we can add it to CI and ensure it does not regress.

Adding here in case if anyone facing same issue in windows. Change the value in VERSION file to 0.9.0-alpha.2. Seems like the path is not getting resolved properly in windows

[lissyx]

Well, again, if you read the issue, this is exactly what turned out to be the root cause, as suspected: there is no support for symlinks on Windows, so it's failing.

Are there any other symlink issues that I might face? I use windows and am still in the priliminary stage. Just want to check the feasibility if I need to switch to linux

That's why we say we don't support Windows: we don't know. If you are willing to try and test, it might not be too complicated and a PR to ensure Windows support at training would be more than welcome.

[lissyx]

@vasudev-hv So, have you had any luck on that matter?

[vasudev-hv]

@vasudev-hv So, have you had any luck on that matter?

Unfortunately no. Due to constraints on windows hardware(gpu and mem), we had to move to linux.

And pip can't find ds-ctcdecoder==0.7.0-alpha.2

Moreover, you reported that one month ago and did not shared any informations versions, so there was no way for us to know that, especially since we had some infra-related issue at the same time.

As @reuben said, please reach for support on Discourse. Also, the error is quite explicit: you have ds_ctcdecoder==0.7.4 installed and your are still running 0.7.0-alpha.2 training code. Please just upgrade your training to 0.7.4.

I find the solution, Update DeepSpeech version (cloning a latest version) and I resume the configuration for all.
It just versioning problem.
nevertheless thank you
