How can I resolve mmcv version conflict while using mmyolo with mmpose ?

[ahmedmustahid]

I have been trying to apply yolo to first detect a person using mmyolo and then apply HRNet for pose detection using mmpose.
I carry out the following steps:

1. Install mmyolo following the Best Practices section of this page: mmyolo sample code compiles successfully.
2. Install mmpose following the Best Practices section of this page
3. After this I get the error: mmyolo 0.1.3 requires mmdet>=3.0.0rc3, but you have mmdet 2.26.0 which is incompatible.
4. Run command mim list

(mmyolo) ➜  mmpose git:(testConfig) mim list
/home/ahmed/miniconda3/envs/mmyolo/lib/python3.10/site-packages/_distutils_hack/__init__.py:33: UserWarning: Setuptools is replacing distutils.
  warnings.warn("Setuptools is replacing distutils.")

5. Remove mmcv-full 1.7.0 and mmdet 2.26.0 using mim remove
6. Reinstall mmcv and mmdet for mmyolo:

(mmyolo) ➜  mmyolo git:(main) ✗ mim install "mmdet>=3.0.0rc3,<3.1.0"

Installing collected packages: mmdet
ERROR: pip's dependency resolver does not currently take into account all the packages that are installed. This behaviour is the source of the following dependency conflicts.
mmtrack 0.14.0 requires mmcv-full<1.7.0,>=1.3.17, which is not installed.
mmpose 0.29.0 requires mmcv-full>=1.3.8, which is not installed.
mmtrack 0.14.0 requires mmdet<3.0.0,>=2.19.1, but you have mmdet 3.0.0rc4 which is incompatible.

7. This gives me the following errors:

mmtrack 0.14.0 requires mmcv-full<1.7.0,>=1.3.17, which is not installed.
mmpose 0.29.0 requires mmcv-full>=1.3.8, which is not installed.
mmtrack 0.14.0 requires mmdet<3.0.0,>=2.19.1, but you have mmdet 3.0.0rc4 which is incompatible.

It seems that the conflict is happening because the dependencies of mmpose and mmyolo are different versions of the same packages (mmcv and mmdet). How can I resolve this issue? Thanks.

@ahmedmustahid, you can install mmpose following the Best Practices section of this page which is 1.x branch. It'll solve the resolve mmcv version conflict.
