This user guide aims to provide you with help to use the BioTracker software along with its currently available tracking and analysis modules. We will try to keep it up-to-date regarding new developments and changes. If you have any questions regarding BioTracker and its use, please contact us:

BioTracker was developed for Windows (7/8/10) and Linux.
You can download the latest version of BioTracker at our website.
After downloading the Windows binaries, please unzip BioTracker_V3.X.X.zip to a destination of your choice. Open the folder and run "BioTracker_core.exe". It runs out of the box without any installation process.
You can built BioTracker from source. Please follow the instructions in the readme file.
- Hardware
- 500MB ~ 1024 MB of free RAM, depending on tracking algorithm and video resolution
- 200 MB of disk space
- Supported operating systems
- Windows 10 (64 bit, binary)
- Windows 7 (64 bit, binary)
- Windows Vista (64 bit, untested, binary)
- Windows 8 (64 bit, untested, binary)
- Linux (32/64 bit, source only)
Note: CPU and RAM dimension will affect tracking performance, e.g., the speed of tracking (fps) depend heavily on your computer's power.
- Access rights can be an issue, particularly on Windows 10. Run BioTracker as administrator do avoid this or make sure it has suitable access rights for everything it needs (files, cameras, etc).
- On some Windows 10 Dell computers file dialogs crash frequently at random. This might be an issue of a shell extension or access rights.
