Virtual Environment

This section is highly recommended, but not mandatory. Creating a virtual env. helps the FaceRecon encapsulate everything it needs into the folder, avoiding screwing up the global Python package system of your computer and other bugs.

In case you dont have virtualenv package installed, do:

$ pip3 install virtualenv

Create a virtual env.

$ python3 -m virtualenv env

Activate environment. Your prompt should be preceded by a (env) if all went OK.

$ source env/bin/activate

Dependencies installation

Just do:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt

If installation fails, try installing manually:

$ pip3 install opencv-contrib-python===4.1.2.30

Execution

$ python3 main.py

Known issues

1.-Although pip downloads the required packages, Python doesn't seem to recognize 'cv2' module from opencv-contrib-python.
