1 year ago when I ran argos-translate or argos-translate-gui in Terminal, answer was:
Illegal instruction (core dumped)What does it mean??
the binary builds of the nvidia cuda packages fail to run on your hardware, either because some CPU extensions are missing, for example AVX2 (grep -m1 ^flags /proc/cpuinfo)
you could build these package from source, to make them run on your hardware. this may take 1 or 2 days

Last lines of the 2 outputs say "successfully installed". But well I couldn't find Argos in main Menu
because argos-translate is a command line app, usually called with python3 -m argostranslate, or by adding ~/.local/bin to PATH
for argos-translate-gui, you could add a ~/.local/share/applications/argos-translate-gui.desktop file

Hello! For my first post I just want to say thanks for your work. I hope I can use this software for offline translation, helping people with limited connexion or avoiding a bit more Google and other bad guys would be cool. Sorry for my english I'm french-speaker, and I don't have much skills in computing.
* 1 or 2 months ago I had already tried to install Argos (following installation page here on Github) but for some reason, several times after downloading hundreds of MB it aborted, I don't remember the details but well I gave up. Yesterday I tried again and it seemed to work better.
First I put
pip install argostranslate:Following what said last line, I moved some files to make room and I put again
pip install argostranslate:And then the GUI:
Last lines of the 2 outputs say "successfully installed". But well I couldn't find Argos in main Menu, and running argos-translate in terminal said something like "command unknown" if I remember.
There is a maybe problematic line in the beginning
Defaulting to user installation because normal site-packages is not writeableBut I don't know what to do with it so I left it.But there are also several lines
Had never heard of this "PATH" thing, but I found here for example that I seemed to have to add a line in /home/me/.bashrc file, which I did:
export PATH="$PATH:/home/me/.local/bin"After that, I made a small chek by re-running install command:
Warnings had disappeared, which I thought was a good sign. But Argos still not in Menu, and when I ran argos-translate or argos-translate-gui in Terminal, answer was:
Illegal instruction (core dumped)What does it mean??So I tried to follow the found web pages, and then I added the indicated folder for the PATH in 2 other files:
PATH="$PATH:/home/me/.local/bin"in /home/me/.profile and in /etc/environment and I restarted the computer. But then surprise, at session opening, I coudn't enter, cause after each confirmation of my password, the login page displayed again and asked me again the password! So from another OS, I entered my partition and I commented with # the 2 lines I had added. And then I could re-open my session normally.Then I tried once more to add the folder in PATH, in etc/environment there is a line, in which I added it to the end:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/me/.local/bin"And then I restarted, but still the same (I keep this modification for the moment).I see yet 10 things to try, but it might take hours or days and might finally work or break my partition, so if someone has the right answer it would be great.
