Where to install TAPPAS and what is it?

Can someone confirm whether TAPPAS needs to be installed on the Raspberry Pi 5 itself or on an external development computer? Also, what does TAPPAS stand for and what is it exactly?

Thank you

Hey @M_S,

TAPPAS is Hailo’s library for running complex GStreamer-based applications. Your installation needs depend on your goals:

  1. For Hailo RPI Examples (GitHub - hailo-ai/hailo-rpi5-examples):

    • You’ll need to install the TAPPAS core.

  2. For Python applications using our Python API:

    • No need for TAPPAS installation.
    • Instead:
      a) Set up a virtual environment
      b) Install pyHailoRT
      c) Run your application within this environment

For Python API usage examples, please visit: GitHub - hailo-ai/Hailo-Application-Code-Examples

Note: These examples are not yet optimized for Raspberry Pi. We’re currently working on this optimization.
