basicModel_neutral_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl was removed from repo

When attempting to following the instructions to run the human pose extraction, the script errors out with the following.

This is because the model was removed from the target repo in this commit. classner/up@944d1e3

I am still trying to figure out who is trying to download this since nothing comes up when I search for this in the project directory....

Update: it's coming from PHALP.
https://github.com/brjathu/PHALP/blob/master/phalp/trackers/PHALP.py#L657

These have been reported to PHALP here:
brjathu/PHALP#33
brjathu/PHALP#38

[drewtu2]

Put together a CL to bypass this issue for for now...
brjathu/PHALP#46

To bypass, we can use the replace the following line in this document

pip install git+https://github.com/brjathu/PHALP.git

with this

pip install git+https://github.com/drewtu2/PHALP.git

Update: Nevermind, we end up running into the same error as described in brjathu/PHALP#38 with an invalid key.

Seems like the correct way to handle this without modifying their repo is to symlink the file path $HOME/.cache/phalp/3D/models/smpl/SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl to the SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl file set up in the prerequisites section of this document.

If $HOME/.cache/phalp/3D/models/smpl/SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl exists, PHALP will skip attempting to download the file all together.

You then need to also add a symlink to the 4D humans cache too. ~/.cache/4DHumans/data/smpl/SMPL_NEUTRAL.pkl.
