TensorFlow Object Detection API Installation with Specific TensorFlow Version

General Discussion
#1

Hello,

Is it possible to install the TensorFlow Object Detection API with a specific version (TF2.3)? I have TensorFlow 2.3 installed and I need to be using the API with that specific version, but when I try to install it it automatically uninstalls TF2.3 and installs TF2.5.

Any advice?

You can clone repo with 2.3 tag.

#4

How do I pass the tag exactly?

#6

You can download object detection repo with specific tag - 2.3.0. Then install it with setup.py file.

#7

The link to this repo says that TensorFlow 2.x is not supported. It seems like it only supports TensorFlow 1.x.

Hi There! sorry for reviving this post, but im in a similar issue where i need to install object detection API with tensorflow 2.10.0, but it forces me to install 2.11.0

So as you suggested i tried to clone the specific tag so i can avoid that problem:
git clone -b v2.10.0 GitHub - tensorflow/models: Models and examples built with TensorFlow

but! that tag (and many other tags n branches) does not contain the “research” folder, where all of the detection API resides.

So what am i missing?

Best!
