Installation takes forever

Hi guys,

I am running

 pip install mmcv-full -f https://download.openmmlab.com/mmcv/dist/cu110/torch1.9.0/index.html

On a quite powerful 8 core machine and the installation takes forever, more than 30m. The process is stuck at Building wheel for mmcv-full (setup.py) ... |

I am wondering if this is okay.

Thank you 😃

Francesco

hi @FrancescoSaverioZuppichini . It seems like that mmcv is being compiled, but this is not actually the expected behavior. The expected behavior of this command should be to install pre-compiled packages. Here are the pre-compiled packages provided with mmcv.

CUDA	torch 1.9	torch 1.8	torch 1.7	torch 1.6	torch 1.5	torch 1.4	torch 1.3
