packages conflicts in source installation on Windows 11

[monfort314]

Hi! I cloned the repo successfully but when I tried to create the environment with

conda env create -f tierpsy_windows.yml

I got an error

Could not solve for environment specs

Removing the versions constrains from tierpsy_windows.yml file resulted in issues with finding Qt plugin:

This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized.```  

I'm using 
conda 23.10.0
pip 23.2.1
on Windows 11

Do you have any suggestions how to solve this?

For windows, we recommend using the Docker installation:

Thanks for the reply! I tried this one too but it seems that every time I try to run power shell it gets automatically terminated, and when I try to run the docker container, it exits automatically. It is possible that we have some institutional blockade to run files through docker. I tried the conda installation too, gui generally works, so does the parameters selection but when I try to run batch processing, I almost immediately get an error

Traceback (most recent call last):

    is_debug = is_debug)

[WeheliyeHashi]

for the Docker, have you tried the following command: docker pull tierpsy/tierpsy-tracker

If so do you get an error or does it exit.

[WeheliyeHashi]

Could you send me your parameters file that you tried to use for the batch processing along with the videos. (weheliye@ic.ac.uk)

For the gui version, try creating a new parameters file and use that for your batch processing.
