Run SIPEC pipeline on Windows System

[ErinYang96]

Hi,

Thanks for your great work in implementing this animal-behaviour-tracking pipeline first! I am currently trying to use Mask R-CNN model for a 3D fish tracking project, and hope to get some inspirations from your framework. However, for now I can only develop my project using Windows system (Anaconda3, jupyter notebook, spyder), since there is no workstation with linux or ubuntun systems at my lab, and I am not familiar with these systems either.
So if I want to try this code on windows, could you please provide some instructions on what should I do?
I suppose there are also other people who are more accustomed to windows system as I do. So your kind instructions may also be helpful for them.
Thanks for your support in advance. I am looking forward to your response!

Best,
Erin

Hi Erin,
Docker can be downloaded and run on Windows, and then you can just use the SIPEC docker image. The Docker download instructions and run commands should be the same. I'm not sure of the GPU compatibility, but it looks like Nvidia have recently updated that to work with Docker Windows (?). Worth trying out.

@JLC827 Thanks for your kind reply. I will test it out when I have time, and let you know if it can be run successfully on windows.

@ErinYang96 did it work? I guess from your later post that it ran on windows using docker?
