## Download the prebuilt binary directly
[http://tzutalin.github.io/labelImg/](http://tzutalin.github.io/labelImg/). However, there are only prebuilt binaries for Windows and Linux because I don't have Mac OS to do that. If someone can help me to write a script to build binary for Mac OS, I will appreciate that.
## Usage ## Usage

You can then start annotating by running `$ ./labelImg.py`. For usage ### Steps
instructions you can see [Here](https://youtu.be/p0nR2YsCY_U)
At the moment annotations are saved as an XML file. The format is PASCAL VOC format, and the format is the same as [ImageNet](http://www.image-net.org/) 1. Build and launch using the instructions above.
2. Click 'Change default saved annotation folder' in Menu/File
3. Click 'Open Dir'
4. Click 'Create RectBox'
You can also see [ImageNet Utils](https://github.com/tzutalin/ImageNet_Utils) to download image, create a label text for machine learning, etc The annotation will be saved to the folder you specify.
