2 years later I can confirm the instructions still work, even when using CUDA 12.4. I've spent a week trying to get this set up, but this is the only method that's worked for me on windows 11. Thanks!

[StaMariaRock]

Really good tutorial!

Guys, is important to follow all the steps and check the notes in order to acomplish what he got here, the PATH are extremelly important step, both, not only the CUDA and CUDNN but also adding the routes to the PATH variable.

I just tested it with a RTX 3060 - CUDA 11.4 and CUDNN 8.2 and worked

Guyss if you find this channel, then you have found a gem.. What a tutorial... i was watching this video now which is after 1 year of him uploading this video and i had some errors and for him this was 1 year old video but he was still replying to my comments.. and he helped me to solve my errors for solving my errors i spent hours but he helped me find a solution...

Thank you very much sir. This tutorial is very helpful. Finally, I successfully installed Darknet after following this tutorial :)) Previously, I almost gave up.

[lizhang]

lifesaver! The installed bugged me for a whole day before I saw this video. Thank you soooo much!!!

[agustingarcia]

Thanks for your for the detailed explanation. I am working now with darknet on my notebook without any problem.

[alexanderyang]

Thank you for the detailed demonstration. I succeed in implementing it on Windows. : )

[j_ar]

Awesome, i had some issues setting up environmental variables. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[abdullahsafwan]

Thank helped me a I can run yolov4 on my windows

[nthinh]

Really tks you!!
I have tried 3 times to work. It's fine.
The PATH extremely important step. Remember, restart PC

[abubakarsaleem]

Sir kindly make more videos please using model trainings on pytorch and many more.Your content and your way of explaining through your blogs and your channel is amazing🔥.

[ZakaUrRehman-kwgk]

Sir, I followed all your steps but at the final step of image detection cmd shows "CUDA error: CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version", my CUDA version is 11.0, cudnn 8.0.5 and opencv 4.5.1 ... kindly help me

[mohammadyahya]

The best so far on this. Thank you

Error I had:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:156 (message):
CUDA not found, please build explicitly with -DENABLE_CUDA=OFF if you do
not want CUDA.

[dungao]

Hi sir, I have a issue "The source directory "D:/darknet" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt." How can I fix this ?

[marsmemes]

Hi, I got error: nvcuda.dll not found. Please help me

[alexanderyang]

After giving cmd the command to use detector.exe to output the dog image. My computer says it cannot locate the file "zlibwapi.dll", so I looked up on Google.
In Nvidia's guide documentation about cuDNN, it mentioned in 3.1.3 that "installing zlib" and then add it to the system variable PATH.
After done this procedure, I managed to output the done image.

This is a reference for friends met same problem as me, hope to help you too. : )

[Necode]

Sir when i generate Cmake my cuda compiler not found, im sure i installed the cuda and cudnn like the video

[nguyenanhquan]

Hi, when I select " configure " in cmake, i get cmake error: CUDA not found, please build explicitly with -DENABLE_CUDA=OFF if you do
not want CUDA. i don't know what to do. thanks

[mithun]

Hello sir, followed all your steps...am at the final step of image detection but cmd shows "CUDA error: CUDA driver version is insufficient for CUDA runtime version" ...my CUDA version is 11.5 ... kindly help sir!

[viche]

thanks it helped me a lot, I have a question is there any way to run yolo in a python gui on windows 10? thanks!!
