Installation

EASY INSTALL

git clone https://github.com/RedsAnalysis/AI-Background-Remover-Inpaint-Editor.git
cd AI-Background-Remover-Inpaint-Editor
./setup.sh
source venv/bin/activate
python app.py

MANUAL INSTALL

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/RedsAnalysis/AI-Background-Remover-Inpaint-Editor.git
cd AI-Background-Remover-Inpaint-Editor

2. Set up a virtual environment (strongly recommended):

# On Windows
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

# On macOS/Linux
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

# Verify you're in the virtual environment (should show venv path)
where python  # on Windows
which python  # on macOS/Linux

3. Install dependencies in the virtual environment:

# Upgrade pip first (recommended)
python -m pip install --upgrade pip

# Install project dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: Always make sure your virtual environment is activated when working with the project. You'll know it's activated when you see (venv) at the beginning of your terminal prompt.

Usage

1. Start the application:

python app.py

2. Open your web browser and navigate to the provided local URL (typically http://localhost:7860)

3. Upload an image using the web interface

4. Use the background removal tool to automatically remove the background

5. Fine-tune the results using the inpainting tools if needed

6. Download your processed image

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• pip (Python package installer)
• Git
• 4GB+ RAM recommended for optimal performance
• CUDA-compatible GPU (optional, for faster processing)

Development Setup

1. Ensure you have Python 3.8+ installed:

python --version

2. Set up a virtual environment (recommended):

# On Windows
python -m venv venv
venv\Scripts\activate

# On macOS/Linux
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Installation Errors

   • Ensure you're using Python 3.8 or higher
   • Try upgrading pip: pip install --upgrade pip
   • If you encounter CUDA errors, make sure your GPU drivers are up to date
   • If you see "command not found" errors, ensure your virtual environment is activated
   • If pip install fails, try creating a fresh virtual environment
   • For Windows users: if venv\Scripts\activate fails, try using venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 in PowerShell

2. Runtime Errors

   • Check if all dependencies are properly installed
   • Verify you have sufficient RAM available
   • Ensure the virtual environment is activated (if using one)

3. Performance Issues

   • Consider using a GPU for faster processing
   • Close other resource-intensive applications
   • Try processing smaller images first
