Confused on 'We name the root directory as $SQSG_ROOT.'

[Ghostpepper123]

Hey everybody, I am a newbie with Ubuntu but I tried searching Google for this, I'm confused on what I'm supposed to do after cloning the repository here.

How am I supposed to rename the root directory as $SQSG_ROOT? What does that even mean?

I'm researching online too obviously but could somebody link some documentation or something to explain this? Thanks!

It just means the "SqueezeSegV2" project directory is containing your cloned project. Don't try to mix up with system settings. :)

Also if you are new to all of this stuff I recommend to run the project in a "conda virtual environment" where you can organize all of your related packages separated from the system-side.
Get anaconda from here:
https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/

create virtual environment:
conda create --name squeeze_test
conda activate squeeze_test

show your created environments in console:
conda info --env
