Not initialize tkinter if running in command line mode? #14

Closed voa257 closed 2 months ago

Hi, Dominik!

I've come across an issue with BOLDigger-commandline on our Ubuntu cluster. While it works smoothly on my personal setup, it hits a snag on the cluster.

It seems that BOLDigger-commandline tries to initiate tkinter on our "headless" cluster, which lacks a display environment. Consequently, it crashes during execution.

I understand it relies on the main BOLDigger setup, but is there a way to bypass the tkinter part when in command line mode? Perhaps catching the Tk instantiation exception could help?

Thanks, Víctor

Ubuntu does not support tk natively, therefore you should be able to fix this with running: sudo apt-get install python3-tk

I ran boldigger-cline on our ubuntu cluster as well, and the GUI is definitely not needed! BOLDigger2 no longer needs the GUI and should be more stable anyways, so please consider upgrading :) https://github.com/DominikBuchner/BOLDigger2
