Doesn't open in Linux

[Artisto1]

Hello- In trying to get help getting this to work in Linux, someone else stated that they too receive an error message trying to open this. Can we PLEASE get some clear help to get this to work in LINUX PLEASE! LETS MOVE ON FROM WINDOWS!!!!

This won't help you at all but I have it running on Linux. It is possible! Windows in the rearview!

Thank you for the reply.  Any chance I can maybe get some more feedback to figure out why I can't get it to run?   Whats the command line to get it to open off terminal?  Maybe its a simple issue such as that which I may be experiencing. Thanks!

Same command as is in the "Get Started" section
https://github.com/gaomingqi/Track-Anything#computer-get-started

python app.py --device cuda:0

This assumes you've navigated in the terminal to the directory that contains the app.py app.

Thanks! But I am lost reading the supposed direction and again, I opened terminal trying to guess which command may get the program running if all the dependencies were installed as I'm sure I did. It seemed simple and quick BUT I don't know which command would actually get the program to run. Its probably just that. I was hoping you would respond with this but being redirected doesn't help at all because it's either too technical or not obvious enough to know. But if it CAN help me- I am trying to run this on Linux Mint. Very frustrating to feel like there is yet another small step in compositing that can be had in linux but YET NOT QUITE! Please all! We need this for Linux so we can finally throw rocks at WINDOWS!
UPDATE: Just tried reinstalling and my laptop (Asus ROG G14 Zephyrus, Ryzen 9 16 GB Ram) will not comply (11/25/23)

In linux, open a terminal. If you navigate in the terminal to the folder "cd \myaweseomefolder\track_anything\" now the terminal is in that folder

Then you're typing python app.py this is opening the app.py file in that folder you downloaded and running it.

once it's running it should say the ip address, eventually, in the terminal and you can copy that to a web browser to open the demo that is now running on your computer.

Can we PLEASE get some clear help to get this to work

Can we first get a precise description of your issue? "Does not open" is a very much unhelpful description.
So you type "python app.py" into the terminal and then what? Do you get an error message in the terminal? If so, post that for a start.

Hello- Thank you for the attention.  I am on Linux Mint. I followed the seemingly simple instruction to install the dependencies.   The command to open the the program does nothing in terminal   I tried a few different ways and spent much time trying to understand the right way to open this since maybe it's as simple as that.  But attempting the last bit of instruction does nothing either.  Here is how my output shows on terminal  ( exluding the pc name) ***@***.***:~$ \myaweseomefolder\track_anything\> python app.py myaweseomefoldertrack_anythingpython: command not found ***@***.***:~$ cd \myaweseomefolder\track_anything\> python app.py bash: cd: too many arguments ***@***.***:~$ On Sunday, December 17, 2023 at 11:48:31 AM EST, BluPhoenix ***@***.***> wrote: Can we PLEASE get some clear help to get this to work Can we first get a precise description of your issue?

That looks like you have issues using the linux terminal. I'm assuming you migrated from Windows to Linux Mint recently.
If you have the directory myawesomefolder in your home directory and inside is the directory track_anything, you have to do type the following into your terminal:

cd myawesomefolder/track_anything
python app.py

The first command "cd" is short for change directory and just moves the terminal into the direcotry with the file app.py. The second command "python" runs the python file app.py.

Note the "/" instead of the "" and also the missing "" or "/" in the beginning of the path.

Should hopefully look something like this for you:

***@***.***:~$ cd myaweseomefolder/track_anything
***@***.***:~/myaweseomefolder/track_anything $ python app.py
