+# Running the votchallenge.net benchmarks against mosse-tracker
+
+These instructions are adapted from https://www.votchallenge.net/howto/tutorial_python.html
+
+All instructions assume that you are in this directory.
+
+## Installing vot tool in a python virtualenv
+
+First, you need to install the vot python tool, to run the benchmarks.
+
+At the time of writing, vot does not work with python 3.10 on macos (import error when starting up), so you may need to use an older version.
+
+```bash
+cd examples/votchallenge # if you are not already here
+
+python3.9 -m venv vot_venv
+source vot_venv/bin/activate
+pip install git+https://github.com/votchallenge/vot-toolkit-python
+```
+
+## Set things up for this project
+
+```bash
+cd examples/votchallenge # if you are not already here
+
+cargo build --release --example=votchallenge
+cp trackers.template.ini trackers.ini
+```
+
+Then change the last line of your new `trackers.ini`, to point at your
+`target/release/examples/votchallenge` executable. This must be an absolute path.
+
+## Check with a dummy sequence
+
+```bash
+cd examples/votchallenge && source vot_venv/bin/activate # if you are not already here
+
+vot test MosseRust
+```
+
+## Run the full benchmark suite 
+
+```bash
+cd examples/votchallenge && source vot_venv/bin/activate # if you are not already here
+
+vot test MosseRust
+```
+
+This only uses a couple of cores, and take around 30 minutes, so go make yourself a cup of tea. You should see output like this:
+
+```

+```
+
+## Checking your scores
+
+```bash
+cd examples/votchallenge && source vot_venv/bin/activate # if you are not already here
+
+vot analysis MosseRust
+```
+
+This is a bit quicker, and will give you something like:
+
+```
+ Loading dataset      |██████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████| 100% [00:00<00:00]

+Analysis successful, report available as 2022-10-06T22-54-20.997015
+```
+
+You can then open ./analysis/2022-10-06T22-54-20.997015/report.html in your web browser, to view the results.
+
+## Rerunning the analysis after making a change
+
+```bash
+cd examples/votchallenge && source vot_venv/bin/activate # if you are not already here
+
+cargo build --release --example=votchallenge
+rm -rf cache/ results/
+vot evaluate MosseRust && vot analysis MosseRust
+```
