Cannot start application on MacOS (Intel)

[tsuijten]

I installed the application, that seems to work fine. When I run the app I see this output in the terminal:

 /Applications/EcoAssist.command ; exit;
This is an OSX computer...
   ...with an Intel processor.

Saving session...completed.

The stderr.txt file contains this:

EnvironmentLocationNotFound: Not a conda environment: /Applications/.EcoAssist_files/miniforge/envs/ecoassistcondaenv

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Applications/.EcoAssist_files/EcoAssist/EcoAssist_GUI.py", line 15, in <module>
    import cv2
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cv2'

Indeed I don't have a directory called /Applications/.EcoAssist_files/miniforge/envs/ecoassistcondaenv

But I do have one called /Applications/.EcoAssist_files/miniforge/envs/ecoassistcondaenv-yolov8

Hmmm. That is weird...

Does /Applications/.EcoAssist_files/cameratraps/environment-detector-mac.yml exist?

Could you perhaps reinstall it and check if you can see anything off in the console output when installing? You can also copy-paste this installation output and send it to me via email: peter@addaxdatascience.com. I'll investigate what the problem is!

[tsuijten]

The file you suggested does not exist in that location. It does in the envs subfolder: /Applications/.EcoAssist_files/cameratraps/envs/environment-detector-mac.yml

I'll email you the installation log file.

[PetervanLunteren]

Found the issue. Due to an update of the file structure of MegaDetector, it couldn't find the conda environment YAML file. At the time I didn't test it on an intel Mac...

Should be fine if you reinstall it now. Can you confirm?

[tsuijten]

Yes it works now!
