SMILExtract -h: command not found #25

Closed spagliarini closed 2 years ago

spagliarini commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I am trying to set up openSMILE on my mac. I am following the instructions for LINUX/MAC (from source) on the "Get started" webpage. Everything is fine, until this point:

This will configure and build the libopensmile library and the SMILExtract binary. After successful compilation, you may want to add the build/progsrc/smilextract directory to your path or copy the binary build/progsrc/smilextract/SMILExtract to a directory in your search path. Finally, start by running:

SMILExtract -h

I added the directory to my path but the command cannot be found. I am confused about what I can possible be doing wrong. Any idea of why?

Or, if there is another way to set up opensmile (or directly a python library-package that I can pip install), I am all ears.

Thank you to anyone available to give me their 2 cents! Silvia

You do not necessarily need to add the SMILExtract directory to your PATH. Are you sure the build succeeded and there is a SMILExtract binary in build/progsrc/smilextract?

Instead of building openSMILE yourself, you might also want to just use the prebuilt binaries from the Releases page on GitHub.

Thank you so much for the quick reply.

I can see the executable inside the directory.

I am trying this way now. I downloaded the tar file and just navigating to the directory, I still can't run SMILExtract -h (command not found). I thought I might need to do something first, and by reading the readme I see that it mentions to run bash build.sh : but there is no such directory. I am really sorry for all these questions, I must sound very naive here.

You may need to specify the current directory or full path when invoking SMILExtract in the shell: ./SMILExtract

Ok, this worked. Thank you so much for the help.
