General Discussion

tried to git clone hailo model zoo, but installation failed because i got stuck at building wheel from matplotlib (pyproject toml)… any fix to this?

end goal is for me to use the hailomz command to benchmark, eval my model. thank you

Hi @Rowan_Chin,

Sorry to hear that you are having issues with the Model Zoo installation.
Please note that the Hailo Model Zoo can be installed only on an Ubuntu 22/24 x86 machine, since it sits on top of the Hailo DataFlow Compiler.

  • If you only plan to benchmark the throughput/latency of your model, please check the hailortcli run tool, which is part of HailoRT and therefore runs also on embedded platforms.
  • instead, if you retrained a model from the Hailo Model Zoo and you want to perform accuracy evaluation, you may want to install the Hailo Model Zoo on your system.
    In this case, the easiest way is to use the docker image Hailo Software Suite, which contains the DataFlow Compiler, the Model Zoo and HailoRT all in the same environment. Please check out the Software Downloads section of the Hailo Developer Zone.
    Alternatively, in the Developer Zone you can also find the wheel package of the Hailo Model Zoo, if you have issues with the manual installation.

Hi thanks for the reply.

Never used a docker before, is installation easy for the software suite? is there a step by step guide to do this along with the benchmarking/ eval/ deployment?

i will need to get FPS, mAP for my tests.

May i also ask if the hailo8 device is used for training or inference?
