Run the .bat file to download the model file. Then restart the program. https://github.com/developersharif/bgremover-app/blob/main/windows-model-download.bat

Why is model file not included in the first place if you are touting it as OFFLINE model?

and from opsec point, no one should ever be asked to run a .bat file ever. we have no idea what kind of damage it can do to your pc (Not in your case) just ask any sysadmin

You should either design your software that it doesn't phone home ever- to download any model files or send telemetry or you should be clear and be upfront that its not offline and requires either one time internet connection or whatever

offline means offline - period
