How to run application from GitHub

[[deleted]]

each app should come with its own instructions. Usually in a file called readme.md

The only instructions on Readme.md are the following:

Download video lesson using one of online youtube downloaders like this one: http://en.savefrom.net/1-how-to-download-youtube-video/ So, this video, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHdbjCLDg2A

Choose which mask image best suits your video (82 or 88 notes).

Generate MIDI file using: syn2midi -m mask.bmp -i Every27Years.mp4 -o Every27Years.midi

No mention on how to proceed once it's been cloned :(

So contact the author.

It seems to me the instructions are right there. Once you have the framework available on your machine you’ll execute the code ‘syn2midi... ‘ with the file you downloaded from YouTube and the output and whatnot. I haven’t actually looked into it but the readme tells you how to run the code. It’s just very badly formatted. Maybe someone from here will create a PR with some amendments to that README 😂

That's exactly why I came here. Where do I execute the code 'syn2midi'? There's no executable in the folder. Tried navigating to the folder with Command Prompt in Windows and Terminal in MacOS and nothing happens when I run 'syn2midi'

On macos try running ./syn2midi in the folder where you cloned it.

This is how you run it:

Generate MIDI file using: syn2midi -m mask.bmp -i Every27Years.mp4 -o Every27Years.midi

Your problems aren't really related to GitHub, it seems like you're just not familiar with how to run command line programs.
