Welcome to the SAM 2 Demo! This project consists of a frontend built with React TypeScript and Vite and a backend service using Python Flask and Strawberry GraphQL. Both components can be run in Docker containers or locally on MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) or CPU. However, running the backend service on MPS or CPU devices may result in significantly slower performance (FPS).
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- Docker and Docker Compose
- [OPTIONAL] Node.js and Yarn for running frontend locally
- [OPTIONAL] Anaconda for running backend locally
To install Docker, follow these steps:
- Go to the Docker website
- Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
To install Node.js and Yarn, follow these steps:
- Go to the Node.js website.
- Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
- Once Node.js is installed, open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command to install Yarn:
npm install -g yarn
To install Anaconda, follow these steps:
- Go to the Anaconda website.
- Follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
To get both the frontend and backend running quickly using Docker, you can use the following command:
docker compose up --build
Warning
On macOS, Docker containers only support running on CPU. MPS is not supported through Docker. If you want to run the demo backend service on MPS, you will need to run it locally (see "Running the Backend Locally" below).
This will build and start both services. You can access them at:
- Frontend: http://localhost:7262
- Backend: http://localhost:7263/graphql
MPS (Metal Performance Shaders) is not supported with Docker. To use MPS, you need to run the backend on your local machine.
-
Create Conda environment
Create a new Conda environment for this project by running the following command or use your existing conda environment for SAM 2:
conda create --name sam2-demo python=3.10 --yes
This will create a new environment named
sam2-demo
with Python 3.10 as the interpreter. -
Activate the Conda environment:
conda activate sam2-demo
-
Install ffmpeg
conda install -c conda-forge ffmpeg
-
Install SAM 2 demo dependencies:
Install project dependencies by running the following command in the SAM 2 checkout root directory:
pip install -e '.[interactive-demo]'
Download the SAM 2 checkpoints:
(cd ./checkpoints && ./download_ckpts.sh)
Use the following command to start the backend with MPS support:
cd demo/backend/server/
PYTORCH_ENABLE_MPS_FALLBACK=1 \
APP_ROOT="$(pwd)/../../../" \
APP_URL=http://localhost:7263 \
MODEL_SIZE=base_plus \
DATA_PATH="$(pwd)/../../data" \
DEFAULT_VIDEO_PATH=gallery/05_default_juggle.mp4 \
gunicorn \
--worker-class gthread app:app \
--workers 1 \
--threads 2 \
--bind 0.0.0.0:7263 \
--timeout 60
Options for the MODEL_SIZE
argument are "tiny", "small", "base_plus" (default), and "large".
Warning
Running the backend service on MPS devices can cause fatal crashes with the Gunicorn worker due to insufficient MPS memory. Try switching to CPU devices by setting the SAM2_DEMO_FORCE_CPU_DEVICE=1
environment variable.
If you wish to run the frontend separately (useful for development), follow these steps:
-
Navigate to demo frontend directory:
cd demo/frontend
-
Install dependencies:
yarn install
-
Start the development server:
yarn dev --port 7262
This will start the frontend development server on http://localhost:7262.
-
To rebuild the Docker containers (useful if you've made changes to the Dockerfile or dependencies):
docker compose up --build
-
To stop the Docker containers:
docker compose down

By following these instructions, you should have a fully functional development environment for both the frontend and backend of the SAM 2 Demo. Happy coding!
