How to Install Mediapipe in Jetson Nano 2GB, 4GB, Jetson Xavier NX

Video Link - https://youtu.be/RAfkrusLnkM

Here, I Will show how to install MediaPipe in jetson nano and run an example program to make sure that it is working

The normal way to install mediapipe in Linux is not working

So I have found a way to install mediapipe from source code, This way of installing is a little bit hard but it works very well in the jetsons.

I understand that the GitHub of mediapipe-bin has changed and you guys were getting errors while installing mediapipe , so I have fixed the error and changed the last step in my Github.

so now there should be no error and you can get mediapipe running in the jetson with no problem.

Thank you

So let us start this Tutorial

In this tutorial, I am using a newly flashed jetson OS on my jetson nano

Step 1 - First setup the jetson nano then update it using -

  sudo apt update

Now the system is updated and ready to install mediapipe

Step 2 - Prerequisites and Dependencies

Now we need to install the Prerequisites and Dependencies for mediapipe and Tensorflow

1. Install system packages required by TensorFlow: -

      sudo apt-get update
      sudo apt-get install libhdf5-serial-dev hdf5-tools libhdf5-dev zlib1g-dev zip libjpeg8-dev liblapack-dev libblas-dev gfortran
   

2. Install and upgrade pip3:

      sudo apt-get install python3-pip
      sudo pip3 install -U pip testresources setuptools==49.6.0
   

3.Install the Python package dependencies:

              sudo pip3 install -U --no-deps numpy==1.19.4 future==0.18.2 mock==3.0.5 keras_preprocessing==1.1.2 keras_applications==1.0.8 gast==0.4.0 protobuf pybind11 cython pkgconfig
              sudo env H5PY_SETUP_REQUIRES=0 pip3 install -U h5py==3.1.0

Step 3 - Now we need to install opencv-python:

 sudo apt-get install python3-opencv 
 sudo apt-get remove python3-opencv 

Step 4 - Increase swap for more swap ram

https://github.com/JetsonHacksNano/installSwapfile.git

 git clone https://github.com/JetsonHacksNano/installSwapfile.git  
 cd installSwapfile

 ./installSwapfile.sh

Now all the Prerequisites and Dependencies are installed

Now let’s get the mediapipe source code:

 cd
 git clone https://github.com/google/mediapipe.git
 cd mediapipe

Now let's Install it from the source code:

sudo apt-get install -y libopencv-core-dev  libopencv-highgui-dev libopencv-calib3d-dev libopencv-features2d-dev libopencv-imgproc-dev libopencv-video-dev
sudo chmod 744 setup_opencv.sh
./setup_opencv.sh

Step 5

sudo pip3 install opencv_contrib_python
sudo apt install curl


so guys the medipipe-bin has changed so the installation is little  different from the video only this step has some changes , 
     Do as I say in this github 
    Now first you need to download this folder of medipipe-bin from this link - 

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lHr9Krznst1ugLF_ElWGCNi_Y4AmEexx/view?usp=sharing

    After downloading the zip file unzip it by going to where it is been download in your jetson , mostly in the Downloads folder 
    
   cd Downloads
   
   sudo apt install unzip
    
   unzip mediapipe-bin.zip

Then run

   cd mediapipe-bin
   
   sudo pip3 install numpy-1.19.4-cp36-none-manylinux2014_aarch64.whl mediapipe-0.8.5_cuda102-cp36-none-linux_aarch64.whl


   pip3 install dataclasses

This is the new way to install mediapipe in jetson

now continue with the video and complete the installation 
Also do not forget to subscribe to my channel.

Now all installation is completed , lets try to run a example program to make sure that it is working properly

Download the file from my GitHub and try running it on your computer
