Installation error while installing Hailo SW Suite (self extractable)

General Discussion

Hi,

i tried installing hailo SW suite using the guide from RidgeRun Developer Wiki, but as i ran the “./hailo8_ai_sw_suite_2025-10.run” command, the installer gets stuck at “installing python requirements”… any fix to this issue?

i really need to benchmark/evaluate my custom models to get FPS / mAP

help appreciated, thanks!

Hi @Rowan_Chin ,

I suggest following our official documentation from our developer zone:

Registration is free.

hi Michael,

this was what i tried too and faced the same issue with installation. is there any fix to the progress being stuck at installing python requirements?

i’m using ubuntu 24, python 3.12 (in terminal) but i installed python3.10 packages for the sake of this installation

Hi @Rowan_Chin ,

The issue might be conflicting Python & pip installations with a mix of versions and maybe even sudo installations, so once hailo-apps installed it’s not clear under what Python version.

Can you please share the installation command and the output?

Thanks,

Hi Michael, i tried installing the hailo SW suite via self extractable but i think it freezes while building wheels for python requirements.

I then tried to install it via docker and i think i was successful.

Could you please guide me step by step on how to convert a custom model to HEF, and subsequently to benchmark/ evaluate its performance (for FPS, mAP, power usage while running)

Hi @Rowan_Chin ,
Glad to hear it now works for you.
We’ve recently updated our retraining (including compilation) guide, please see here: hailo-apps/doc/developer_guide/retraining_example.md at main · hailo-ai/hailo-apps · GitHub
Thanks,

Hi Michael,

thanks, how can i check which python version is usable with the DFC?

Hi @Rowan_Chin ,

In our developer zone documentation, based on DFC version (for example 5.2.0): https://hailo.ai/developer-zone/documentation/dataflow-compiler-v5-2-0/

Thanks,

Hi @Michael , Hailo Team,

I’m facing the issue where I cannot evaluate the .hef models (obtained from the model zoo) on the software suite (installed via docker).

Device details: 2x hailo-8
OS: Linux
Architecture: x86

Noticed that there’s some compatibility notice on the github hailomz page. I’m using hailo-8 device but my model zoo version is v5.2.0. Please give me a step by step guide to eval the yolov11.hef models on the model zoo, thanks!

Note: previously tried to run but there was compatibility issue, only working for Hailo-10.

Appreciate the help!
