Installation Failure

[tjdevWorks]

Failing to clone the repo and its submodules, please help.

$git clone --recursive git@github.com:microsoft/Oscar.git
Cloning into 'Oscar'...
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Additionally for cloning using https "https://github.com/microsoft/Oscar.git", the submodules fail to install giving the same error:

git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Ok no problem found a workaround:

1. Clone the Oscar repo using: git clone https://github.com/microsoft/Oscar.git

2. Update the Git submodules with the below contents

[submodule "transformers"]
	path = transformers
	url = https://github.com/huggingface/transformers.git
	branch = 067923d3267325f525f4e46f357360c191ba562e
[submodule "coco_caption"]
	path = coco_caption
	url = https://github.com/LuoweiZhou/coco-caption.git
	branch = de6f385503ac9a4305a1dcdc39c02312f9fa13fc

3. Execute git submodule update --init --recursive --progress inside the oscar repo to load the submodules.

Great to see you figured it out. Thanks.

@tjdevWorks
I don't know how to load the submodules.
Could you tell me the whole command of step 3 ? I run the command "git submodule update --init --recursive --progress" with the result of follows:

usage: git submodule [--quiet] add [-b ] [-f|--force] [--name ] [--reference ] [--] []
or: git submodule [--quiet] status [--cached] [--recursive] [--] [...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] init [--] [...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] deinit [-f|--force] [--] ...
or: git submodule [--quiet] update [--init] [--remote] [-N|--no-fetch] [-f|--force] [--rebase] [--reference ] [--merge] [--recursive] [--] [...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] summary [--cached|--files] [--summary-limit ] [commit] [--] [...]
or: git submodule [--quiet] foreach [--recursive]
or: git submodule [--quiet] sync [--recursive] [--] [...]

Thanks.

@xjli Hi, I am also meet with the same error of install.
Could you give some other way of install?
Thanks!

@liutianling it means update .gitmodules under Oscar.

You should upgrade git version, --progress is supported in 2.13 version or newer

Using this workaround and running git submodule sync before git submodule update --init --recursive --progress works for me
