Install instructions

UNIX/Linux systems

Source install:

Untar the downloaded archive: 

$  tar -zxvf imgSeekNet-0.1.tar.gz

The contents will be placed on a directory called "imgSeekNet".

To install, enter the imgSeekLite directory where archive contents were extracted to and type, as root: 

#  ./compile-install

Alternatively, you may run it from the dir you extracted, so a root account is not required: 

#  ./compile

Running

To run imgSeekNet type: 

$  imgSeekNet

Using

If you want to query local images and/or share them, you have to populate your collection with images. To do so, make sure the GUI is started. Then click on the Local tab. Now use the directory tree browser and select a folder with images. Then click on the Add button.

You should now wait while images are being processed. When that's finished, a message will appear on the status bar, indicating how many images were properly added.

Click on the Search tab, and left-click a thumbnail to query similar images, or right-click to show the image on a preview dialog.

imgSeekNet will start a simple "image server" listening on port 8080. Try it after populating your database.

Check the command line options (imgSeekNet --help) for more info on how to change this port number, disable the webserver, change config dir, etc.

Windows(R) systems

Just download and run the self-extracting installer.
