• The current version of SecurePose only supports Windows. However, after modifying the code, it can be used on other platforms.

• SecurePose can be used without creating a virtual environment, however, the recommended and easiest way is described below.

• We recommend that most users use our supplied Conda environment requirement file.

Step 0: Check the hardware and software requirements.

• It is recommended to have a system with Nvidia GPU with at least 8GB RAM. The software is not optimized or tested for a non-GPU system. 

• Upgrade your Nvidia drivers to the latest version (in the Nvidia "GeForce Experience" software or its website).

• Install game-ready drivers or studio drivers.

Step 1: Install Anaconda

• Download anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/download .

• Follow standard installation.

Step 2: Download the latest version of SecurePose

• Download the latest version from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/securepose/ .

• Register for the mailing list to get updates about the changes.

• Extract the "zip" file.  

• The folder "SecurePose" is for GPU version and "SecurePoseCPU" is for CPU version. You may delete "SecurePoseCPU" folder if you do not want to use CPU version of the software.

Step 3: Build a virtual environment using our Conda file.

Method 1: (Recommended)

• Locate the "install.bat" file in the "SecurePose" folder (Note: the SecurePose folder is referred to as "the main software folder" throughout the documentation). 

• Open "install.bat"

  • Be patient and let Conda and Pip install the required packages. (Ensure proper internet connectivity).

  • The auto-installation process can take 10-20 minutes.

  • Press any keyboard button, after the installation is complete.

Method 2: 

• Locate the "requirements_build.yml" file in the "SecurePose" folder (Note: the SecurePose folder is referred to as "the main software folder" throughout the documentation). 

• Open "Anaconda Prompt (anaconda3)" as administrator:

  • Type "Anaconda Prompt (anaconda3)" in the widows' start menu and right-click on it. 

  • Then select "run as administrator".

• Change the working directory of Anaconda command prompt to the main software folder. 

  • write "cd [address_of_the_main_software_folder]" example "cd C:\Users\temp\Desktop\SecurePose\SecurePose".

  • Note: if your main software folder is not is "C" drive, you will have to write "cd [your_drive's_name]:". Example: is the location of the main folder is "D:\blurring\SecurePose\SecurePose" write "cd D:" then "cd D:\blurring\SecurePose\SecurePose" .

• Create the environment.

  • Write "conda env create -f requirements_build.yml".

  • Be patient and let Conda and Pip install the required packages. (Ensure proper internet connectivity).

• We recommend that most users use our supplied Conda environment requirement file.

Step 0: Check the hardware and software requirements.

• It is recommended to have a system with at least 8 CPU cores and 8 GB of RAM. The CPU version is 50-100 times slower than the GPU version. 

Step 1: Install Anaconda

• Download anaconda from https://www.anaconda.com/download .

• Follow standard installation.

Step 2: Download the latest version of SecurePose

• Download the latest version from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/securepose/ .

• Register for the mailing list to get updates about the changes.

• Extract the "zip" file.  

• The folder "SecurePose" is for GPU version and "SecurePoseCPU" is for CPU version. You may delete "SecurePose" folder if you do not want to use GPU version of the software.

Step 3: Build a virtual environment using our Conda file.

Method 1: (Recommended)

• Locate the "install.bat" file in the "SecurePoseCPU" folder (Note: the SecurePoseCPU folder is referred to as "the main software folder" throughout the documentation). 

• Open "install.bat"

  • Be patient and let Conda and Pip install the required packages. (Ensure proper internet connectivity).

  • The auto-installation process can take 5-10 minutes.

  • Press any keyboard button, after the installation is complete.

Method 2: 

• Locate the "requirements_build.yml" file in the "SecurePoseCPU" folder (Note: the SecurePoseCPU folder is referred to as "the main software folder" throughout the documentation). 

• Open "Anaconda Prompt (anaconda3)" as administrator:

  • Type "Anaconda Prompt (anaconda3)" in the widows' start menu and right-click on it. 

  • Then select "run as administrator".

• Change the working directory of Anaconda command prompt to the main software folder. 

  • write "cd [address_of_the_main_software_folder]" example "cd C:\Users\temp\Desktop\SecurePose\SecurePoseCPU".

  • Note: if your main software folder is not is "C" drive, you will have to write "cd [your_drive's_name]:". Example: if the location of the main folder is "D:\blurring\SecurePose\SecurePoseCPU" write "cd D:" then "cd D:\blurring\SecurePose\SecurePoseCPU" .

• Create the environment.

  • Write "conda env create -f requirements_build.yml".

  • Be patient and let Conda and Pip install the required packages. (Ensure proper internet connectivity).

• Open jupyter-notebook using "jupyter-notebook" command.

• Once jupyter-notebook is opened in the browser, run the code by clicking the run button. The run button is located in the command bar, below the menu bar. 

• Locate the "update.bat" file in the "SecurePose" folder (Note: the SecurePose folder is referred to as "the main software folder" throughout the documentation). 

• Open "update.bat"

  • Be patient and let Conda and Pip install the required packages. (Ensure proper internet connectivity).

  • The auto-installation processor can take 10-20 minutes.

  • Press any keyboard button, after the installation is complete.

• Locate the "requirements_build.yml" file in the "SecurePose" folder.

• Open "Anaconda Prompt (anaconda3)" as administrator:

  • Type "Anaconda Prompt (anaconda3)" in the widows' start menu and right-click on it. 

  • Then select "run as administrator".

• Change the working directory of Anaconda command prompt to the main software folder. 

  • write "cd [address_of_the_main_software_folder]" example "cd C:\Users\temp\Desktop\SoftwareVersions\SecurePose".

  • Note: if your main software folder is not is "C" drive, you will have to write "cd [your_drive's_name]:". Example: is the location of the main folder is "D:\blurring\SoftwareVersions\SecurePose" write "cd D:" then "cd D:\blurring\SoftwareVersions\SecurePose" .

• Option 1: Create the environment.

  • Write "conda  update env -f requirements_build.yml".

  • Be patient and let Conda and Pip install the required packages. (Ensure proper internet connectivity).

• Option 2 (if option 1 does not work): Reinstall the environment.

  • Write "conda  remove -n SECUREPOSE --all".

  • Write "conda  env create -f requirements_build.yml".

  • Be patient and let Conda and Pip install the required packages. (Ensure proper internet connectivity).
