Installation

Installing system software packages

For convenience, we list the steps below:

sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg --set-selections < ./requirements/installed_packages.txt
sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade

Create a Python virtual environment (optional)

python3 -m venv new_env
source new_env/bin/activate

Install Python packages

pip3 install -r ./requirements/python_packages.txt

Optimization

nohup python3 optimizer_sf_label.py \
  --cfg configs/argoverse_cfg.yaml \
  --error_filename ./log_vis/argoverse_log/error \
  --data_filename ./configs/argoverse_files/argoverse_file_name_0.txt \
  > ./log_vis/argoverse_log/file0.txt 2>&1 &

• nohup ensures that the script continues running after the terminal is closed or disconnected.
• python3 executes the Python script optimizer_sf_label.py.
• --cfg, --error_filename, and --data_filename pass the configuration file path, error log file path, and data file path, respectively.
• > and 2>&1 redirect the standard output and standard error to the specified log file.
• & runs the command in the background.
