Documentation
This section collects technical notes and usage guides for StarNet and DeepSNR: PixInsight and command-line references, input behavior, data-quality guidance, and workflow examples.
CLI installer locations
Native installers place StarNet2 and DeepSNR executables, model files,
runtime files, and documentation in standard system locations. ZIP
archives remain portable: extract the full ZIP wherever you want and
keep the package files together, including the lib/ directory
on Linux and macOS, or bundled DLLs on Windows. Apple Silicon Mac
packages include CoreML .mlpackage directories; keep
those directories intact alongside the executable.
Interactive installers ask you to accept the product license before installation. Windows and macOS unattended modes do not display an agreement page; review the terms before deploying them.
Windows
Windows installers place each tool under C:\Program Files.
- Executables
C:\Program Files\(StarNet2|DeepSNR)\bin\- Model and runtime files
C:\Program Files\(StarNet2|DeepSNR)\lib\(starnet2|deepsnr)\
Linux
Linux self-contained .sh installers use apt on
Debian-compatible systems. They install executables into
/usr/bin, support files into /usr/lib, and
package documentation into /usr/share/doc.
Download the installer, then run it from a terminal. No separate package download is needed. Read the license and answer the acceptance prompt.
sudo sh ./StarNet2_linux_2.6.2-0242_ORT_x64.sh
For DeepSNR, use DeepSNR_linux_1.3.2-0147_ORT_x64.sh.
Add --reinstall to reinstall the same version without removing
it first. After reviewing and accepting the terms, add
--accept-license for unattended installation. These options
can be combined. Without explicit acceptance, a noninteractive install fails.

/usr/local/lib, and package documentation into
/usr/local/share/doc.
