Fastai v1 install issues thread

[franva (Winston Fan)]

having problems to install fastai on my shiny Raspberry Pi 4 with 4GB, Raspbian Buster OS

I have spent 2 days on getting things e.g. PyTorch, imgaug etc. running on my Pi and finally I made my way to touch Fast.Ai, but sadly, it failed at installing fast.ai.

I followed this post to install Fast.Ai on Pi

Install fastai on raspberry pi 3 b+

I’m currently working on getting fastai up and running on the system. From the videos I’ve found about installing Pytorch, it can take upwards of 36+ hours. I let mine run for about 24 before deciding it froze. I tried again and just let it run - it eventually kept moving and finished, so be patient. From what I’ve learned, the Pi is likely more capable of inference than training the models, I’ll have to post an update on the performance and see whether I can apply any TPU units like Google’s C…

After installed all dependencies successfully, I started installing fastai:

sudo pip3 install fastai --upgrade > /dev/null

here is the error:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-i0byv1vc/spacy/

Please help, I think this is the last barrier to get Fast.Ai on my Pi~!

Thanks
