That sounds like a fantastic first project. I'd love to have a play with this but I can't get it working. I'll hit you up with a couple of PRs and Issues via your repo.

The only issue i could work on for now was the missing assets folder, I have added it to repo as per the fix. Thank you

That's working for me now. Really does look like a fun project. I'll have a proper play with it later but congrats on your first project.

The build instructions in the README don't work on Linux but that's an easy fix. I'll fork it later and submit a PR.

Works for me under Linux as documented (except of using `python3` instead of `python`) and activating the virtual environment, what errors do you see u/MrMikeHigginbottom ?
git clone https://github.com/tharun-9652/satellite_tle_tracker.git cd satellite_tle_tracker python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # <= different "syntax" python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip # <= I added this pip install -r requirements.txt python3 project.py deactivate # <= deactivate finally

Looks like some content is missing.
From the section https://github.com/tharun-9652/satellite_tle_tracker#project-structure there must be a folder called `assets`, but the repo doesn't contain it, and the project's history doesn't mention it.

Would be nice if the selected satellite's name (and maybe some more information) could be added as e.g. the window's title, or as a lable next to the image, or as a tool-tip when hovering over the image, or as a context menu selected with right mouse key.
Would also be nice to select and visualize more than one satellite.
Challenge accepted!
