Troubleshooting/Tips

Configuring the Python environment

There are a few problems that one might run into while preparing the python environment. To help reduce the chance of running into these problems, be sure that you are doing the following:

• Running the terminal/command prompt commands in order
• Downloading numpy and scipy into your "Downloads" folder
• Windows: While installing python 3.5.3, be sure you install the 64 bit version and check the box for "Add Python 3.5 to PATH"
• Downloading the Deep-Learning-Plugin repository into your "Downloads" folder

Running the plugin

There is a known issue with the plugin/FlowJo after the user clicks and drags the plugin field into the second population. After dragging the plugin field into the second population, the python script should begin to run and the name of the field will change to "(calculating)'NameOfPopulation'". This is normal, however, occasionally the field will not change back to "NameOfPopulation" after the python script has commenced. The script may still have ran successfully, but the name of the field will not change back. Sometimes clicking the field after the name has been stuck will fix the name of the field. Thankfully, this bug is purely cosmetic, and the user should still be able to check to see if the plugin was ran successfully in the debug console.
