Download
In Windows and Mac OS X
You can use VirtualBox to run USE Tracker in a Linux environment, without any change to your computer
(well, you'll need at least 5GB of disk space).
I'd recommend you to download and install VirtualBox from the official website.
Make sure you also install the VirtualBox extension pack available on that same page:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
Then, download the preinstalled image :
To load it in VirtualBox, use the menu "File->Import appliance".
You can now run USE Tracker, but screen resolution is limited and you have no shared folders.
To fix this, install the guest additions of Virtual Box by using the menu "Device->Insert Guest Additions CD Image".
Double click on the file VBoxLinuxAdditions.run, and choose "Execute in terminal".
Don't be scared by the terminal, and type this line. You will be asked for the password (it is written on the desktop).
sudo ./VBoxLinuxAdditions.run
Once the installation is complete, you can shutdown the virtual machine.
Finally, let's add a shared folder. In Virtual Box, go to the settings of the virtual machine and add a shared folder.
You can pick up any, just make sure to name it "shared".
Now you can start the virtual machine with full resolution and access your personal files which are located in the shared folder.
You are done!

1. Make sure you are connected to internet, so that required dependencies can be downloaded and installed.
2. Make sure you have git installed on your system.
3. In a terminal, issue the commands:
git clone https://github.com/AlexandreCampo/useTracker.git
cd useTracker
./setup.sh
These lines download the latest version of useTracker. The setup.sh script updates your computer and installs a number of dependencies, such as OpenCV, FFMpeg, wxWidgets, and some more.
Then it compiles the sources, and finally installs the program on your machine.
After installation, you can run the program by typing in a terminal :
useTracker
Later, you can update useTracker by launching the script:
./update.sh
