Not sure how to get this running.

I looked through the instructions and none of it made sense to me. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Have you ever used python, or is it new to you?

[deathclonic]

I've never used python.

Alright!
You'll want to:

• install python (make sure you tick the Add to PATH box)
• open a terminal, and run pip install git+https://github.com/sedthh/pyxelate (replace pip by pip3 if you're running mac or linux). This will install this project and all its dependencies as a package that can be used in your code.
• save the first example code from the README (right under Usage) in a file with a .py extension, replacing "examples/blazkowicz.jpg" by your file name. There's also a few other settings you should modify, such as downsample_by (by what factor you want to rescale the image) or palette (the numer of colors to use). You'll want to make sure the file is in the same folder as your image to avoid problems.
• (Optional) If you want to experiment with some of the other options shown in the README, you can modify the line pyx = Pyx(factor=downsample_by, palette=palette). For example, if you want to try out the bayer dithering style, you can write pyx = Pyx(factor=downsample_by, palette=palette, dither="bayer"). And add as many parameters as you'd like, separated by commas :)
• Run your python file - it might work out-of-the-box by double-clicking it. Otherwise open a terminal, navigate to your folder, and run python yourfilename.py (or python3 if you're running mac or linux). The pyxelated image will appear in the folder!

I tried installing scikit image from this site https://scikit-image.org/docs/stable/install.html#install-via-pip but I keep getting these errors.

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement scikit-image>=0.18.1 (from pyxelate)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for scikit-image>=0.18.1

You shouldn't have to install it manually, it will get installed automatically when you run pip install git+https://github.com/sedthh/pyxelate. Do you run into the same problem with that command?

[deathclonic]

Yeah I just keep getting that error.

EDIT: proper Issue with much more info here: #25

Hey, I'm having an odd issue. When I clone the repository and run the example notebook everything runs perfectly.

However when I try to copy the example code and run it standalone (or simply edit the notebook with an image of my own) I get a segmentation fault.

Any idea why this is happening? The segfault occurs with the example blazkowicz.jpg image too, even though it runs fine in the notebook on first run.

I am using Python 3.9.7 by the way. I've also tried installing all deps in both a virtual env as well as my global. On a macbook, do I need more resources?

EDIT: attempting to run the notebook again (specifically the first example with blazkowicz) causes the jupyter kernel to die.

Here is my stacktrace:

EDIT: going to move this to a proper issue
