Unable to install nvidia dali in Windows 10

Question

I am not able to install the Nvidia dali module in windows 10. Inside anaconda I am executing the following command: pip install nvidia-dali

and it is producing the following error:

ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

In the above error it is suggesting to visit the URL: https://docs.nvidia.com/deeplearning/dali/user-guide/docs/installation.html

I am also following the instructions given in the URL but still, I am unable to install it.

Can anyone please suggest to me the correct way of installing Nvidia dali in a windows environment.

Answer 1

Nvidia dali is not supported in Windows: https://github.com/NVIDIA/DALI/issues/476#issuecomment-724551468

When you try to install you end up installing placeholder package from pipy
