Install Annotation tool

The document provides instructions for setting up the EKEEL Video Annotation project locally on your PC.

First Installation

Open a Terminal and type:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install ffmpeg
sudo apt install tesseract-ocr
sudo apt install libtesseract-dev

"cd" to the folder annotator/code

> cd {path to the folder annotator/code}

conda create the python environment from a yml file

conda env create -f conda_environment.yml

(Facoltative) If you have a gpu, to improve performances:

conda install m2w64-toolchain
conda install libpython

To avoid inconsistency between local and server, yml file has been used to enforce same environment state

open a terminal:

> cd {inside folder annotator/code}

overwrite the conda_environment.yml inside using

conda env export --no-builds | grep -v "^prefix: " | grep -v "en-core-web-lg" | grep -v "it-core-news-lg" > conda_environment.yml

and push the modifications to the repo. (The spacy models end up in the final distribution but must be ignored otherwise cause errors)

Then to synchronize the packages change in the server pull updates from the repo and on the server terminal update dependencies on the server:

The guide is here

(Facoltative) Open VSCode with conda (if dev using VScode ide)

code .

After the installation is completed, launch the project with:

conda activate ekeel_anno_env
python main.py
