Getting Started with YOLO Object and Animal Recognition on the Raspberry Pi

Hey @Piers298469, welcome to the forum!

The newest version of the Ultralytics package seems to of broken the installation on some devices. You might wanna give this line a go instead

pip install ultralytics==8.3.100

It installs one of the newer version before the break.

Let us know how you go!

Hi Jaryd,

I got it to install with the --no-cache-dir and --prefer-binary options, so

pip install ultralytics[export] —prefer-binary —no-cache-dir

Works very well using ncnn model Yolo11n (not Yolov11n).

Thanks for your speedy and helpful input!

Cheers,

Piers

Hey @Piers298469,

Fantastic timing, I just booted up the Pi to investigate a good fix for this as well as starting a new guide. Cheers for the fix, it’s great to see you got it going and I’ll give it a spin, appreciateit.

Currently investigating YOLOE and it’s one of the coolest things to come out of vision models in a while - a model that can detect objects based on a prompt, even if has never been trained to detect it. We touched on YoloWorld in this guide but YOLOE is a hugely improved version of it. I definitely recommend checking it out as you should be able to use it without any additional installations.

Cheers for the work!
