1. Clone and navigate to this repo in a terminal
2. Setup an environment using:

conda env create -f environment.yml

Note: the documentation is currently being updated, but the API should be complete.

Using a terminal, navigate into the docs folder of this repo, then call make:

make html

This will generate an html file with all of the most recent documentation. This should be located in 'docs/build/html/index.html'.

The GUI is optimized to work with videos that are 640x480 pixels (width x height).

All videos should also be in .fmf format (FlyMovieFormat). To convert from .mp4/.avi/.mov/etc to .fmf format, consider using the ffmpeg2fmf video conversion tool available from here.
