This error occurred when attempting to retrieve a model for animal identification, and the model could not be retrieved.

How can this be resolved?

Hi @Sand723

The error shows that AddaxAI cannot reach GitHub from your computer. The cause is in this line:

Caused by ProxyError('Unable to connect to proxy', FileNotFoundError(2, 'No such file or directory'))

A proxy server is configured on your machine, but it is not reachable. This often happens on company, university, or government computers. A VPN or antivirus can also cause it.

A few things to try:

  1. Reboot your computer.
  2. If possible, turn off your VPN, proxy, firewall, and antivirus for a moment.
  3. Try a different network. Switch from WiFi to ethernet, or use a mobile hotspot.
  4. If you do not know whether a proxy is configured, open Windows Settings, then Network & Internet, then Proxy. Check if anything is enabled there.

But the root problem will persist after a succesful install, and you will not be able to install any models (probabaly). So it might be easiest to take the computer to a different network (if its a laptop, that is doable, if its not, you might want to use mobile hotspot). Once you have the app running and the models downloaded, you can switch back to the original network again, as it then doesnt need internet anymore.

Hope that makes sense!

Cheers,

Peter
