Tutorial for Installation

[rustoys377-sys]

Here is a tutorial idea for Depth Anything i've made incase you want to use it:
This exists to assist people attempting to download depth who need help with installation.

**Depth Anything V2 + Blender Integration (No Virtual Env)

🧩 Step 1: Extract the ZIP File**

Locate your downloaded file:

Depth-Anything-V2-main.zip

Right-click → Extract All…

Place it somewhere convenient, for example:

C:\Users<you>\Documents\Depth-Anything-V2-main

(Replace with your Windows username.)

### 🧰 Step 2: Install Python

If you don’t already have Python:

Go to https://www.python.org/downloads/

Download and install Python 3.10 – 3.12

During installation, check ✅ “Add Python to PATH”

Verify the installation:

python --version

### 📦 Step 3: Install Dependencies (inside the project folder)

Open a terminal or PowerShell inside the extracted folder:

Windows:

Navigate to the folder

Hold Shift + Right-click → choose “Open PowerShell window here”
You’ll see a prompt like:

PS C:\Users<you>\Documents\Depth-Anything-V2-main>

Then install dependencies:

🔹 If you have an NVIDIA GPU:
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

🔹 If you’re using CPU only:
pip install torch torchvision torchaudio

Then install the rest:

pip install gradio opencv-python pillow numpy timm einops tqdm

### 🧠 Step 4: Verify Installation (Optional but Recommended)

Run these quick checks:

python -c "import torch; print('✅ torch OK, CUDA:', torch.cuda.is_available())"
python -c "import gradio; print('✅ gradio OK')"
python -c "import cv2, PIL, numpy, timm, einops, tqdm; print('✅ all others OK')"

✅ You should see:

✅ torch OK, CUDA: True (or False if CPU)
✅ gradio OK
✅ all others OK

### 🚀 Step 5: Run the App

Now, still in that folder, launch:

python app.py

Wait a few seconds — then you’ll see:

Running on local URL: http://127.0.0.1:7860

✅ Your default browser (like Chrome) will automatically open a new tab to that address — just like Sammie Roto.

### 🌐 Step 6: Use the Gradio Web Interface

In the browser tab:

Click Upload Image

Choose any image (photo, render, etc.)

Click Run or Generate Depth

Wait for it to process (watch the progress bar)

You’ll see:

Left: Original Image

Right: AI-generated Depth Map

### 💾 Step 7: Save Your Depth Map

There are two options:

Option 1 — From the Browser:
Right-click the depth map → “Save image as…”

Option 2 — From the Project Folder:
Check inside:

C:\Users<you>\Documents\Depth-Anything-V2-main\outputs\

or sometimes:

results\ or gradio\outputs\

Save that grayscale image somewhere easy to find.

### 🧠 Step 8: Verify Your Depth Map

Open it with the Photos app:

You should see a grayscale image.

White = closer, Black = farther away

✅ That confirms Depth Anything is working perfectly.
