Then there is noting happened :cry:

I have try it over 5 times , with or without VPN in China :sob:

Other part of install howdy seems ok.

[forliuyifei]

Can you tell me what data files does howdy need?
Maybe there is another way to fetch them for me.

[boltgolt]

This is the second issue opened by a user with their system language in Chinese where the data files fail to download. Could you give me the output of wget https://github.com/davisking/dlib-models/raw/master/dlib_face_recognition_resnet_model_v1.dat.bz2?

Thx, I will have a try.

hello, i get the dlib_face_recognition_resnet_model_v1.dat.bz2 after i run the command， but i also get the false:
bzip2: Can't open input file *.bz2: No such file or directory.
Error while running last command
could you help me?

[boltgolt]

Are you located in mainland china @aiaiai-czh? Does opening the downloaded archive with your normal archive manager work?

yes, i located in china, and my ubuntu20.04 can't open de downloaded archive, it tips that "TGA image type not supported", how could i solve this problem?

[boltgolt]

@aiaiai-czh seems like the archive is corrupted. Could you give me exactly what wget prints in the terminal and send me the file that it saves? I'll debug it for you

[aiaiai-czh]

this file is the wget prints in the terminal

这不是中文英文版的问题, 而是因为所需文件在境外, 不开代理无法连接, 但是我并不知道 dpkg 时如何开启代理, 不知道上面的 " Downloading 3 required data files..." 走的是什么协议, 我明明配置好了 http 、https 代理，ftp 也尝试过，就是无法下载，最好的办法可能是用一部能开代理中继的手机或者路由器实现真正的全局代理，但无奈的是我现在不具备这两种条件.

我的破手机救回来了，现在已经成功用上 howdy 。

此问题继续保留。

@forliuyifei say he use his phone make howdy work, i just want to ask him how to do?

[aiaiai-czh]

[forliuyifei]

Please keep your comments in english, i can't help here

Sorry, I almost gave up before.

I enabled proxy (which helps me connect to the Internet out of China), and used this VPN Hotspot to enable "Repeater" on a rooted phone, then my computer connected to this "hotspot" , and now it can download the required files successfully.

1. A rooted Android phone.
2. A proxy tool that works fine on your phone.
3. Download and install VPN Hotspot from Google Play.
4. Make sure that your phone connect to a Wi-Fi.
5. Enable both the proxy & Repeater
   
6. Let your computer connect the hotspot which is created by your phone.(It's not same as the system one)
7. sudo dpkg -r howdy
8. sudo dpkg -i howdy*.deb , wait and go on.

好的，多谢了🙏

[boltgolt]

Thanks all for figuring it out, was unfortunately not much i could do from here. Closing this now because the problem is not with Howdy

[Syize]

On my Ubuntu, I use method below to install howdy when data downloading failed.

1. cd into your howdy library directory, which should in /lib/security/howdy/dlib-data
2. modify install.sh, I use proxychains4 to enable wget to use my proxy
3. cd into dpkg library, which in /var/lib/dpkg/info, and run
   sudo ./howdy.preinst install
   to generate howdy_picked_device to make dpkg think it's fresh configuration mode
4. modify line 131 in howdy.postinst, change it from
   LOADER_CMD = [loader, "--tries", "5", "--output-document"]
   to
   LOADER_CMD = ["proxychains4", "-q", loader, "--tries", "5", "--output-document"]
   so that wget can use proxy to download file
5. finally you can run
   sudo apt install howdy
   or whatever command that can make apt continue installing howdy

Here is some advise

1. You can specify which python3 packages howdy needs in README so people can install them before, in case root's pip use different pypi mirror.
2. You can keep howdy_picked_device file existing until installation finally complete, in case installation failed. It took me a while to find why the script can't run properly again after I modified it because the file was deleted.

[aiaiai-czh]

        Thanks for your advice! I will try it later.
