This package only supports python 3. We recommend installing python 3 with Anaconda.
If you have pip issues, there might be some interaction between pre-installed dependencies and the ones FaceMap needs. First thing to try is
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
While running python -m facemap, if you receive the error: No module named PyQt5.sip, then try uninstalling and reinstalling pyqt5
pip uninstall pyqt5 pyqt5-tools
pip install pyqt5 pyqt5-tools pyqt5.sip
If you are on Yosemite Mac OS, PyQt doesn't work, and you won't be able to install Facemap. More recent versions of Mac OS are fine.
The software has been heavily tested on Ubuntu 18.04, and less well tested on Windows 10 and Mac OS. Please post an issue if you have installation problems.
Facemap python relies on these awesome packages:
The matlab version supports SVD processing only and does not include the keypoint tracker. The package can be downloaded/cloned from github (no install required). It works in Matlab 2014b and above - please submit issues if it's not working. The Image Processing Toolbox is necessary to use the GUI. For GPU functionality, the Parallel Processing Toolbox is required. If you don't have the Parallel Processing Toolbox, uncheck the box next to "use GPU" in the GUI before processing.
