Thanks for the more detailed instructions than the readme file provided, saberwarthog.  I downloaded the .zip file, placed the contents of that .zip file in the plugins folder within a new folder named background-remover, made background-remover.py executable and ran setup.sh from a terminal window inside the newly created folder and it created a folder named gimpenv.



After this, I downloaded both model-40 and resnet50-19c8e357.pth and placed them in the Ldf folder, as seen here:



Unfortunately, none of this was successful and there is no entry for background remover under the Filters menu in Gimp 3.0.

Maybe it's because I am using a Gimp AppImage, which sometimes has some issues with certain things.  Anyway, it was worth a try and thanks for the help.

The regular and more simple remove_bg_gimp3.py plugin, from the same author, does work with an AppImage, as seen here:



Thinking that this plugin may somehow be interfering with his background-remover.py plugin, I removed it, restarted Gimp, and still got no entry on the Filters menu.
