Import Error for timm with facebook/detr-resnet-50

Beginners

I am working through implementing the How to Use section from the Facebook Detr Resnet 50 model card here: https://huggingface.co/facebook/detr-resnet-50 and am getting the error below when calling DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained('facebook/detr-resnet-50').

Even after I pip install timm. Any suggestions or help is welcomed :smiley:

ImportError: 
DetrModel requires the timm library but it was not found in your environment. You can install it with pip:
`pip install timm`

Many thanks!

What is your environment? In Colab notebooks, it might help to restart the runtime.

Thank you! Restarted runtime and voila it works.

It was interesting because I could run other timm models and load from timm, but DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained('facebook/detr-resnet-50') would throw the error.

I am getting this error in sagemaker,
!pip install timm did not help
Any suggestion ?

Hi @payamahv,

It’s now possible to use DETR models without relying on the timm dependency. Just pass in revision=“no_timm” to the from_pretrained method:

from transformers import DetrForObjectDetection

model = DetrForObjectDetection.from_pretrained("facebook/detr-resnet-50", revision="no_timm")

Hi, did you resolve the issue? I have the same error.
