How to install lableImg annotation tool in M1 Mac?

apple-m1 labelimg

Solution 1:^[1]

I got it to work by using the following commands

brew install pyqt@5
pip install labelimg

And that's it, it just works You just need to type labelimg in the Terminal and the app will start running

I don't know why they don't tell you this in the installation guide

You can go one of two ways:

Using brew:

You can use homebrew to install the dependencies - like qt and libxml2. This will let your package manager handle everything and generally should solve the problem with the . Then you can run

    python3 labelimg.py

Using Virtual Environments:

This is the more recommended way to go about in such cases. You can use conda, pipenv or venv to create a virtual environment which is isolated from your system python installation. Then you can try to install it as explained in the README.rst in the root of the repository:

brew install python3
pip3 install pipenv
pipenv run pip install pyqt5==5.12.1 lxml
pipenv run make qt5py3
pipenv run python3 labelImg.py
[Optional] rm -rf build dist; python setup.py py2app -A;mv "dist/labelImg.app" /Applications

You can try the two methods and and get back with the errors if there are any.

This is my note.

I just succeed on my Mac M1 Chip

CHECK THIS OUT!

Installation of labelimg on mac m1 chip

my first reference
my second reference

First, you must use terminal with rosetta version

Then, you already have python3

Then...

[Done]

# check where python3 is
$ where python3

# create env
$ /usr/bin/python3 -m venv env

# check env is
$ where env

# activate env list
$ source env/bin/activate 

# updated to the newest
$ pip install --upgrade pip

# installation of PyQt5
$ pip install PyQt5

# start to run labelImg.py
$ cd Documents/repos/labelImg
$ pip3 install pyqt5 lxml
$ make qt5py3

# [run ok!!]
$ python3 labelImg.py

Alrighty!

On MacOS Monterey, none of the other solutions posted here solved this problem for me. However, I managed to easily solve the issue, without a virtual environment or too much fiddling about like so:

Firstly, you have to download all labelImg packages from this link:

https://github.com/tzutalin/labelImg#macos

(You can download it as a .zip file or clone it)

Unzip and then in your terminal cd into whatever directory you downloaded the above files to.

Then run the following commands in order:

    pyrcc5 -o libs/resources.py resources.qrc

Then,

    pip3 install lxml

Finally,

   python3 labelImg.py

It should run without an issue now.

Using Conda

Create a virtual environment in conda and activate it

conda create -n venv
conda activate venv

Install pyqt using conda

conda install pyqt

Install lxml using pip

pip install lxml

Change directory to the downloaded/cloned labelImg folder

cd path/to/labelImg/folder/

Make qt5py3

make qt5py3

Run LabelImg

python labelImg.py
