Getting an error when executing the code related to downloading the database

[azamani272]

Hello When I run the faceforensics_download.py code I get the following error:

============================================== usage: untitled0.py [-h] [-d {original_youtube_videos,original_youtube_videos_info,original,DeepFakeDetection_original,Deepfakes,DeepFakeDetection,Face2Face,FaceShifter,FaceSwap,NeuralTextures,all}] [-c {raw,c23,c40}] [-t {videos,masks,models}] [-n NUM_VIDEOS] [--server {EU,EU2,CA}] output_path untitled0.py: error: the following arguments are required: output_path An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

SystemExit: 2

please guide me

Read the error message.

It says output path is required.

So if you just want the dataset to download into your current directory, you do this

untitled0.py .

Where the . means the current directory.

But you should look into specifying other options too, otherwise it will download the complete dataset which is multiple TB.

Hi There is no variable in the code to set the output_path parameter. I can't fix this error. The code is not commented and it is not possible to check. Please guide me

You do not need to modify any code. You just need to run the following command in a terminal. Assuming you named your download script to be untitled0.py

python untitled0.py .

There is no variable in the code to set the output_path parameter.

That's not true, it's defined in line 151. Otherwise, you might have the wrong python file.

    output_path = args.output_path

Hello. I just run the code. I will not change anything specific in the code. But I get the error that has already been attached. Could this error be related to insufficient storage space? How many gigs is the whole database? What part of the code should I change to reduce the size of database videos?

Have a read of their README page.

The entire dataset is multiple TB in size.

But I get the error that has already been attached.

I don't know what you mean by that, posting the error message would be helpful.

Try this to only download a sample of 10 videos from the Face2Face subset.

python untitled0.py . -d Face2Face -c c23 -t videos --num_videos 10 --server EU2

I run this code in the Spider programming environment from the Anaconda software package under Windows. And I get the following error There is 100 gigs of space in the place where the code is executed The error image is attached. I changed the information about some parameters to reduce the download size
