The package is currently distributed via Github as the primary source code repository, and the Python package index (PyPI). The pre-built Docker images are made available on DockerHub. To install optional features such as handling the NIfTI files using [Nibabel](https://nipy.org/nibabel/), or building workflows using [Pytorch Ignite](https://pytorch.org/ignite/), please follow the instructions: - [Installing the recommended dependencies](#installing-the-recommended-dependencies) The installation commands below usually end up installing CPU variant of PyTorch. To install GPU-enabled PyTorch: 1. Install the latest NVIDIA driver. 1. Check [PyTorch Official Guide](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/) for the recommended CUDA versions. For Pip package, the user needs to download the CUDA manually, install it on the system, and ensure CUDA_PATH is set properly. 1. Continue to follow the guide and install PyTorch. 1. Install MONAI using one the ways described below. --- ## From PyPI ### Milestone release To install the [current milestone release](https://pypi.org/project/monai/): ```bash pip install monai ``` ### Weekly preview release To install the [weekly preview release](https://pypi.org/project/monai-weekly/): ```bash pip install monai-weekly ``` The weekly build is released to PyPI every Sunday with a pre-release build number `dev[%y%U]`. To report any issues on the weekly preview, please include the version and commit information: ```bash python -c "import monai; print(monai.__version__); print(monai.__commit_id__)" ``` Coexistence of package `monai` and `monai-weekly` in a system may cause namespace conflicts and `ImportError`. This is usually a result of running both `pip install monai` and `pip install monai-weekly` without uninstalling the existing one first. To address this issue, please uninstall both packages, and retry the installation. ### Uninstall the packages The packages installed using `pip install` could be removed by: ```bash pip uninstall -y monai pip uninstall -y monai-weekly ``` ## From conda-forge To install the [current milestone release](https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/monai): ```bash conda install -c conda-forge monai ``` ## From GitHub (_If you have installed the PyPI release version using `pip install monai`, please run `pip uninstall monai` before using the commands from this section. Because `pip` by default prefers the milestone release_.) The milestone versions are currently planned and released every few months. As the codebase is under active development, you may want to install MONAI from GitHub for the latest features: ### Option 1 (as a part of your system-wide module): ```bash pip install git+https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI#egg=monai ``` or, to build with MONAI C++/CUDA extensions: ```bash BUILD_MONAI=1 pip install git+https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI#egg=monai ``` To build the extensions, if the system environment already has a version of Pytorch installed, `--no-build-isolation` might be preferred: ```bash BUILD_MONAI=1 pip install --no-build-isolation git+https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI#egg=monai ``` this command will download and install the current `dev` branch of [MONAI from GitHub](https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI). This documentation website by default shows the information for the latest version. ### Option 2 (editable installation): To install an editable version of MONAI, it is recommended to clone the codebase directly: ```bash git clone https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI.git ``` This command will create a `MONAI/` folder in your current directory. You can install it by running: ```bash cd MONAI/ python setup.py develop ``` or, to build with MONAI C++/CUDA extensions and install: ```bash cd MONAI/ BUILD_MONAI=1 python setup.py develop # for MacOS BUILD_MONAI=1 CC=clang CXX=clang++ python setup.py develop ``` To uninstall the package please run: ```bash cd MONAI/ python setup.py develop --uninstall # to further clean up the MONAI/ folder (Bash script) ./runtests.sh --clean ``` Alternatively, simply adding the root directory of the cloned source code (e.g., `/workspace/Documents/MONAI`) to your `$PYTHONPATH` and the codebase is ready to use (without the additional features of MONAI C++/CUDA extensions). > The C++/CUDA extension features are currently experimental, a pre-compiled version is made available via > [the recent docker image releases](https://hub.docker.com/r/projectmonai/monai). > Building the extensions from source may require [Ninja](https://ninja-build.org/) and [CUDA Toolkit](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit). > By default, CUDA extension is built if `torch.cuda.is_available()`. It's possible to force building by > setting `FORCE_CUDA=1` environment variable. ## Validating the install You can verify the installation by: ```bash python -c "import monai; monai.config.print_config()" ``` If the installation is successful, this command will print out the MONAI version information, and this confirms the core modules of MONAI are ready-to-use. ## MONAI version string The MONAI version string shows the current status of your local installation. For example: ``` MONAI version: 0.1.0+144.g52c763d.dirty ``` - `0.1.0` indicates that your installation is based on the `0.1.0` milestone release. - `+144` indicates that your installation is 144 git commits ahead of the milestone release. - `g52c763d` indicates that your installation corresponds to the git commit hash `52c763d`. - `dirty` indicates that you have modified the codebase locally, and the codebase is inconsistent with `52c763d`. ## From DockerHub Make sure you have installed the NVIDIA driver and Docker 19.03+ for your Linux distribution. Note that you do not need to install the CUDA toolkit on the host, but the driver needs to be installed. Please find out more information on [nvidia-docker](https://github.com/NVIDIA/nvidia-docker). Assuming that you have the Nvidia driver and Docker 19.03+ installed, running the following command will download and start a container with the latest version of MONAI. The latest `dev` branch of MONAI from GitHub is included in the image. ```bash docker run --gpus all --rm -ti --ipc=host projectmonai/monai:latest ``` You can also run a milestone release docker image by specifying the image tag, for example: ``` docker run --gpus all --rm -ti --ipc=host projectmonai/monai:0.1.0 ``` ## Installing the recommended dependencies By default, the installation steps will only download and install the minimal requirements of MONAI. Optional dependencies can be installed using [the extras syntax](https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#installing-setuptools-extras) to support additional features. For example, to install MONAI with Nibabel and Scikit-image support: ```bash git clone https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI.git cd MONAI/ pip install -e '.[nibabel,skimage]' ``` Alternatively, to install all optional dependencies: ```bash git clone https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI.git cd MONAI/ pip install -e ".[all]" ``` To install all optional dependencies with `pip` based on MONAI development environment settings: ```bash git clone https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI.git cd MONAI/ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt ``` To install all optional dependencies with `conda` based on MONAI development environment settings (`environment-dev.yml`; this will install PyTorch as well as `pytorch-cuda`, please follow https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/#start-locally for more details about installing PyTorch): ```bash git clone https://github.com/Project-MONAI/MONAI.git cd MONAI/ conda create -n python= # eg 3.9 conda env update -n -f environment-dev.yml ``` Since MONAI v0.2.0, the extras syntax such as `pip install 'monai[nibabel]'` is available via PyPI. - The options are ``` [nibabel, skimage, scipy, pillow, tensorboard, gdown, ignite, torchvision, itk, tqdm, lmdb, psutil, cucim, openslide, pandas, einops, transformers, mlflow, clearml, matplotlib, tensorboardX, tifffile, imagecodecs, pyyaml, fire, jsonschema, ninja, pynrrd, pydicom, h5py, nni, optuna, onnx, onnxruntime, zarr, lpips, pynvml, huggingface_hub] ``` which correspond to `nibabel`, `scikit-image`,`scipy`, `pillow`, `tensorboard`, `gdown`, `pytorch-ignite`, `torchvision`, `itk`, `tqdm`, `lmdb`, `psutil`, `cucim`, `openslide-python`, `pandas`, `einops`, `transformers`, `mlflow`, `clearml`, `matplotlib`, `tensorboardX`, `tifffile`, `imagecodecs`, `pyyaml`, `fire`, `jsonschema`, `ninja`, `pynrrd`, `pydicom`, `h5py`, `nni`, `optuna`, `onnx`, `onnxruntime`, `zarr`, `lpips`, `nvidia-ml-py`, and `huggingface_hub` respectively. - `pip install 'monai[all]'` installs all the optional dependencies.
