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

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 DxTonia

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

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

• Extract the "zip" file.  

Step 3: Open "dxtonia.exe" file

For developers: 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).
