As some users may be more comfortable working with an interactive interface, we wanted to provide an easy-entry point to the software. All the main functionality is available in an easy-to-deploy GUI interface. Thus, while the many advanced features are not fully available in this Project GUI, we hope this gets more users up-and-running quickly.
Release notes: As of DeepLabCut 2.1+ now provide a full front-end user experience for DeepLabCut, and as of 2.3+ we changed the GUI from wxPython to PySide2 with napari support.
(1) Install DeepLabCut using the simple-install with Anaconda found here!*. Now that you have deeplabcut installed, just go into your env (activate DEEPLABCUT) then run:
pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall 'deeplabcut[gui]'==2.3rc1
*Note, currently the latest GUI is a release candidate, so you need to specifically install the rc version. This will change once v2.3 is stable.
(2) Open the terminal and run: python -m deeplabcut
Start at the Project Management Tab and work your way through the tabs to built your customized model and deploy it on new data. We recommend to keep the terminal visible (as well as the GUI) so you can see the ongoing processes as you step through your project, or any errors that might arise.

Note that currently the video demo is the wxPython version, but the logic is the same!
