can't start sloth

[RunshengSong]

Hi,

I think I have installed all prerequisite packages but when I try to start sloth in bash it gives me this:

E:\Programs\Anaconda\python.exe: can't open file '/cygdrive/e/Programs/Anaconda/Scripts/sloth': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

thanks for any suggestions

I have the similar problem. I can't run sloth in command prompt. I use Anaconda and Pyhton 2.7. Thanks for answer

sloth: command not found

python sloth /usr/local/opt/python/bin/python2.7: can't find 'main' module in 'sloth'

One thing to check is that your PYTHONPATH is pointing to the root of the sloth repository. As an example, I did:

$ export PYTHONPATH=/home/user/github_repos/sloth:$PYTHONPATH

then I could run sloth like this:

$ sloth

which eventually is calling the file sloth/bin/sloth.

Hi! I have the same issue. I can´t start sloth, I tried following the first step. http://sloth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/first_steps.html

I´m new in python, and I´m working whit windows 7, python 2.7. I´ve installed sloth in C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\sloth\bin, and PyQt4 C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\PyQt4. All versions for x64. And I´ve intalled PIL too.

I added in my environment varibles PYTHONPATH C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\sloth\bin;

Now, I tried to run from command line (cmd): C:\sloth C:\sloth-master\examples\example1_labels.json

But, I have got error message : "sloth" It is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file

I'm not sure if I forgot to any previous step or whats I´m doing wrong? Any help is welcome! Thanks a lot!

I've install Ubuntu. I couldn't solve this problem in Windows

[debpol]

auch! X(
it not sound good, but, yes, I think I have to do it sooner or later. Thanks alexbra!

prep-end it with "python". So new command will look like this : python sloth examples/example1_labels.json

/usr/bin/python: symbol lookup error: /usr/local/lib/libQt5DBus.so.5: undefined symbol: _Z28qEnvironmentVariableIntValuePKcPb Any idea to fix this? i use ElementaryOS

[nilsonholger]

@gosftw Sorry, but this seems to be a problem with your ElementaryOS installation, and not really with sloth. Information on that specific missing symbol is quite sparse, but my hunch right now would be that there is a mismatch between your installed python and QT versions.

@RunshengSong @alexbra Sorry for your trouble, but internally we only use Linux/OSX, no Windows, so we can't really reproduce your problems. Under normal circumstances, it should run just fine on Windows, too, but I suppose that's assuming a standard Python/QT installation. I don't have the slightest idea what kind of problems using Anaconda might create.

@debpol Pretty much what @bhushi3890 said, call it using python sloth. Just because you install this into python's path does not mean that Windows will find a sloth command (as your error message states).

If anybody here is sufficiently happy with these answers I would like to close this issue!

For me in windows it works in the following way

git clone https://github.com/cvhciKIT/sloth.git
cd sloth
python setup.py install
python sloth/bin/sloth examples/example1_labels.json
