i can not install pycocotools

[li33609]

I can't download pycocotools, I don't need coco data when I train my dataset.
I am win10，When I download pycocotools, it keeps reporting errors
Is there a source code that does not contain pycocotools?

@li33609 you can always try removing it from your yolov5/requirements.txt file, though pycocotools works correctly on windows as windows is part of our CI testing and all checks are passing (see Status below for details).

It appears you may have environment problems. Please ensure you meet all dependency requirements if you are attempting to run YOLOv5 locally. If in doubt, create a new virtual Python 3.8 environment, clone the latest repo (code changes daily), and pip install -r requirements.txt again. We also highly recommend using one of our verified environments below.

Requirements

Python 3.8 or later with all requirements.txt dependencies installed, including torch>=1.7. To install run:

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Environments

YOLOv5 may be run in any of the following up-to-date verified environments (with all dependencies including CUDA/CUDNN, Python and PyTorch preinstalled):

• Google Colab and Kaggle notebooks with free GPU:
• Google Cloud Deep Learning VM. See GCP Quickstart Guide
• Amazon Deep Learning AMI. See AWS Quickstart Guide
• Docker Image. See Docker Quickstart Guide

Status

If this badge is green, all YOLOv5 GitHub Actions Continuous Integration (CI) tests are passing. These tests evaluate proper operation of basic YOLOv5 functionality, including training (train.py), testing (test.py), inference (detect.py) and export (export.py) on MacOS, Windows, and Ubuntu.
