INSTALLATION - Docker (Linux host required):

Step 1: Open up a terminal and pull the HBBatchBeast Docker image using the following command (may take some time):

docker pull haveagitgat/hbbatchbeast

Step 2: Configure and run the HBBatchBeast Docker container using the following command:

docker run -ti --rm \
   -e DISPLAY=unix$DISPLAY \
   --privileged \
   --volume $XAUTH:/root/.Xauthority \
   --volume /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix \
   -v /home/$USER/Documents:/home/developer/Documents \
   -v /media/mount/Video:/home/developer/Documents/HBBatchBeast/Media \
    haveagitgat/hbbatchbeast

Generally, the only line you need to change in the above is line 7:

-v /media/mount/Video:/home/developer/Documents/HBBatchBeast/Media \

Change '/media/mount/Video' to the location of your media on your host machine. You'll be able to navigate to those files by going to '/home/developer/Documents/HBBatchBeast/Media' while using the Docker container. Map more volumes if necessary.

To close HBBatchBeast, close the application window and then use Ctrl+C to end the process in the terminal.
