Interactive_eager_few_shot_od_training_colab.ipynb- Object Detection API not installing

Course Q&A TensorFlow: Advanced Techniques Specialization Advanced Computer Vision with TensorFlow

Hello,
The issue I’m facing is to install the Object Detection API using the cell with the code:
‘’’
%%bash
cd models/research/
protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.
cp object_detection/packages/tf2/setup.py .
python -m pip install .
‘’’
The execution hangs, and never get executed, I’m facing the same issue in the lab: Use the Object Detection API.

Thanks in advance for your support in this.

Not sure what you mean by ‘I dont see the %%bash’

Here is the code from the notebook in colab

%%bash

cd models/research/

protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto --python_out=.

cp object_detection/packages/tf2/setup.py .

python -m pip install .

I think the issue is with the code block in the notebood/

Delete ‘%%bash’
Begin the block with !cd model/research/

It worked for me.
