I have installed rfdetr package to use the provided .ipynb file but it is throwing me the cannot import name 'RFDETRBase' from 'rfdetr' (/home/user.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rfdetr/init.py). When I went inside the folder in /home/user.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/rfdetr/init.py , nothing is inside the folder. I have attached the screenshots as requested.

Hi @golygolkar, thanks a lot for taking the time to prepare this bug report. It seems I know what’s happening. You’re using Python 3.8.10, a version that reached its end-of-life at the end of 2024 (https://devguide.python.org/versions/) and is no longer supported by us. To run RF-DETR on your machine, I recommend installing Python 3.10 alongside your current version.

Below are the steps you can follow to install Python 3.10 on Ubuntu 20.04:

# update your package list
sudo apt update

# install Python 3.10 along with the virtual environment and development packages
sudo apt install python3.10 python3.10-venv python3.10-dev

# verify the installation
python3.10 --version

# create a virtual environment using Python 3.10
python3.10 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# install RF-DETR
pip install rfdetr

Let me know if that solved your issue.
