FedML Installation on NVIDIA Jetson Devices

Run FedML with Docker (Recommended)

• Pull FedML RPI docker image

docker pull fedml/fedml:latest-nvidia-jetson-l4t-ml-r35.1.0-py3

• Run Docker with “fedml login”

docker run -t -i --runtime nvidia fedml/fedml:latest-nvidia-jetson-l4t-ml-r35.1.0-py3 /bin/bash

root@8bc0de2ce0e0:/usr/src/app# fedml login 299

Install with pip

This method is only recommended to those who don’t want to use docker. fedml needs to be installed without dependencies because Pytorch is not available in pip on Jetson.

1. install Pytorch using python wheels

2. install rest of the dependencies with pip3 except torch and torchvision:

3. install fedml without dependencies since they are installed manually.

pip3 install fedml --no-dependencies
