how_to_install_openpose_in_ubuntu1604 | In Web3

Download source from the github

1	git clone --recursive git@github.com:CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose.git

Remember to use the –recursive to download other source

Install the cmake-gui

1 2	sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install cmake-gui

Download the models

1 2	cd openpose/models/ ./getModels.sh

if it doesn’t work for you, you can try to download them directly

Complie

First you should have caffe& OpenCV installed in your PC
Open the cmake-gui and fill the source code and build path
Click the configure and choose the default button
Then set up your path of Caffe and click the Configure button, after that, click the Generate button
When you see the Generating Done, you should do this

2
cd build
make -j `nproc`

caffe issue

If you install the latest caffe, you may occur the problem like that
1
can't read the caffemodel or parase the model files
It may be two reasons
- caffe issue.
- the model file is broken, you can try to download it again.
So if it’s the caffe issue, you can download the caffe from openpose github and complie it alone.

Some issues

SOLVED BY MUUPAN!

You need to generate caffe.pb.h manually using protoc as follows.

In the directory you installed Caffe to

protoc src/caffe/proto/caffe.proto --cpp_out=.
mkdir include/caffe/proto
mv src/caffe/proto/caffe.pb.h include/caffe/proto

After that you complie again, you may incur the other issue about the version of protoc

1	/home/visionml/caffe-master/include/caffe/proto/caffe.pb.h:12:2: error: #error This file was generated by a newer version of protoc which is

You could try the older version of protoc

Python API complie

1 2	cd build/python/ sudo make install -j `nproc`

Add path to bash

vim ~/.bashrc
# (Add this line to the end of the file)
export PYTHONPATH=/path/to/openpose/build/python:

Second way

a. After a successful build, go look for the file - build/python/openpose/pyopenpose.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so and copy to /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages

b. in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages I create a symbolic link -
-  sudo ln -s pyopenpose.cpython-35m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so pyopenpose

c. Verify that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH from env has the entry /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages

d. Now, go to build/examples/tutorial_api_python and do some modification to 1_body_from_image.py

i) look for the line from openpose import pyopenpose as op and change to import pyopenpose as op
