当需要另一个 package 已经存在时，如何从 git 存储库构建安装 package？

Question

I am trying to deploy my app to Streamlit and it requires detectron2 . I had to install detectron2 using

python -m pip install 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git'

It requires torch to be already present as it'll throw an error there and then.

so when I did, pip freeze requirements.txt , the snippet looks like:

torch==1.12.1
torchaudio==0.12.1
torchvision==0.13.1
detectron2 @ git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git@717ab9f0aeca216a2f800e43d705766251ba3a55

so when I pip install -r requirements.txt , it gives me error as:

Not a great work but I found a kind of way around it. So I just removed detectron2 from requirements.txt and installed at runtime using subprocess inside app.py . Not recommended but it just did the work for me. Please suggest a better way to do it. Thanks:)

try:
    from detectron2.config import get_cfg  
except ModuleNotFoundError:
    import subprocess
    import sys
    subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, "-m", "pip", "install", 'git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git'])
