Installing mxnet using pip works!

[kayser-soze]

TL;DR: you can install mxnet using pip instead of compile it from source!

For all the ones having trouble to complie mxnet from source:

I did not manage to compile mxnet from source and encountered several problems mentioned in other issues. Then I tried to compile a newer version of mxnet (official 1.5.1). Doing so I noticed that the operator files already exist in the official mxnet source.
Thus, I installed this mxnet version using pip - I have Cuda 10.0 so I've used the following command line:

pip install mxnet-cu100==1.5.1

and it works!

After that, I had out of memory problems while running demo.py. I have GTX 1080 with 8GB of RAM. I dealt with it by changing KEY_FRAME_INTERVAL from 9 to 5 (in fgfa_rfcn/demo.py), and changing the code in demo.py as in #16 (comment)

Hello , I installed pip install mxnet-cu100==1.5.1, and run demo.py successfully,but when I run train.py,after training. I met the error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

Just set allow_extra=True.

Thanks for your help.but when I tried to change allow_extra=allow_extra with allow_extra=True in mxnet\module\base_module.py line 699,the problem is still there. then I also change
def set_params(self, arg_params, aux_params, allow_missing=False, force_init=True,
allow_extra=False):
with
def set_params(self, arg_params, aux_params, allow_missing=False, force_init=True,
allow_extra=True):
in mxnet\module\base_module.py line 671,
the problem is still there .
