Hi Morrison,
It sounds like you're encountering issues with Python path configuration and version mismatches between MATLAB and Python installations. Here are some steps to troubleshoot and resolve these issues:
- Verify Python Installation Paths: Ensure you have installed Python correctly. When you install Python, especially from the executable installer, ensure that you check the option to add Python to your system PATH. This is crucial for both MATLAB and the command prompt to recognize the Python installation. You may also add the PATH to your system variables manually.
- Check the Python version: Ensure that the correct version of Python is installed, which is compatible with your MATLAB version. Confirm the Python version installed by running python --version in the command prompt. Here is a list of Python versions compatible with different MATLAB releases: https://www.mathworks.com/support/requirements/python-compatibility.html .
- Install MediaPipe: Ensure that MediaPipe is installed in the correct Python environment. You can install packages using pip: pip install mediapipe.
Setup the Python environment in MATLAB and check for the MediaPipe version in MATLAB. Here is how this can be done:
- Set the Python environment in MATLAB using pyenv.
pyenv('Version', 'yourPath\Python311\pythonw.exe');
pe = pyenv;
disp(pe);
- Run Python commands in MATLAB using pyrun to import mediapipe and display its version.
pyrun("import mediapipe as mp")
pyrun("print(mp.__version__)")
Please refer to the following documentation links to learn more about pyenv, pyrun and calling Python from MATLAB.
