# YOLOv5 Quickstart See below for quickstart examples. ## Install Clone repo and install [requirements.txt](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/requirements.txt) in a [**Python>=3.7.0**](https://www.python.org/) environment, including [**PyTorch>=1.7**](https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/). ```bash git clone https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5 # clone cd yolov5 pip install -r requirements.txt # install ``` ## Inference YOLOv5 [PyTorch Hub](https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5/tutorials/pytorch_hub_model_loading) inference. [Models](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/models) download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases). ```python import torch # Model model = torch.hub.load("ultralytics/yolov5", "yolov5s") # or yolov5n - yolov5x6, custom # Images img = "https://ultralytics.com/images/zidane.jpg" # or file, Path, PIL, OpenCV, numpy, list # Inference results = model(img) # Results results.print() # or .show(), .save(), .crop(), .pandas(), etc. ``` ## Inference with detect.py `detect.py` runs inference on a variety of sources, downloading [models](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/models) automatically from the latest YOLOv5 [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases) and saving results to `runs/detect`. ```bash python detect.py --weights yolov5s.pt --source 0 # webcam img.jpg # image vid.mp4 # video screen # screenshot path/ # directory list.txt # list of images list.streams # list of streams 'path/*.jpg' # glob 'https://youtu.be/Zgi9g1ksQHc' # YouTube 'rtsp://example.com/media.mp4' # RTSP, RTMP, HTTP stream ``` ## Training The commands below reproduce YOLOv5 [COCO](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/blob/master/data/scripts/get_coco.sh) results. [Models](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/models) and [datasets](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/tree/master/data) download automatically from the latest YOLOv5 [release](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/releases). Training times for YOLOv5n/s/m/l/x are 1/2/4/6/8 days on a V100 GPU ([Multi-GPU](https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5/tutorials/multi_gpu_training) times faster). Use the largest `--batch-size` possible, or pass `--batch-size -1` for YOLOv5 [AutoBatch](https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov5/pull/5092). Batch sizes shown for V100-16GB. ```bash python train.py --data coco.yaml --epochs 300 --weights '' --cfg yolov5n.yaml --batch-size 128 yolov5s 64 yolov5m 40 yolov5l 24 yolov5x 16 ```
