pip install opencv-python
conda install scikit-image dill
- Download Gepard
Download the Gepard bundle from the repository at https://gitlab.ipfdd.de/GEPARD/gepard. Be careful to download the master branch, unless you know what you're doing:
Extract all files into your preferred location. You should now have created a folder named gepard-master
. Rename the folder to gepard
.
- Build the tsp module
The following step requires a C compiler. In the Anaconda prompt (Windows) or the terminal (Linux, MacOS), navigate to the gepard-subfolder named external
. Then type:
python setuptsp.py
- Start Gepard
In the Anaconda prompt (Windows) or terminal (Linux, MacOS) navigate to the location containing the folder gepard
