When I try to install tensorrt using pip in a python virtual environment, the setup fails and gives the following error:
ERROR: Failed building wheel for tensorrt.
I have upgraded the version of the pip but it still doesn’t work.
TensorRT Version: 8.5
CUDA Version: 11.4
CUDNN Version: 8.6
Operating System + Version: Jetson 35.2
Python Version (if applicable): 3.8
Hi,
We recommend that you please follow the installation guide and try the correct steps.
Thank you,
Hi. I did follow this. Apparently, the architecture of the ORIN device is aarch64. When I flashed the ORIN device, tensorrt was already installed but not accessible in a Python virtual environment. So I created the virtual environment with --system-site-packages option and now it’s able to access tensorrt. I found this solution here: How to install nvidia-tensorrt? - #7 by dusty_nv
I am getting the same errors with tensorrt, but how do I apply the :–system-site-packages you wrote for the solution?
First check if tensorrt exists in your python 3.8 dist packages on your Linux machine.
The directory will be something like this: usr/lib/python3.8/dist-packages
So when you use mkdirvirtualenv to create a new virtual environment, add --system-site-packages as an option.
Something like this: mkdirvirtualenv venv --system-site-packages
So it will create a new virtual environment and have its own packages but will also use the packages found in the usr/lib/python3.8/dist-packages directory. Usually, tensorrt python package is there after you flash the ORIN device. So it should work.
thank you
