Facial recognition based attendance system

Under development

The project is under development right now and may not run on all machines.

Steps to run

• After cloning this project, put a photo of your face clearly visible in the .resources/prefaces folder. The .resources folder is hidden so you may have to enable view hidden folders option.
  
  
• Initiate a virtual environment in the project directory, or just execute it globally if you're a daredevil.
  
  
• Run pip3 install -r requirements.txt using a terminal in the project directory to install all the dependencies. This may take some time.
  
  
• For Windows users, you need to install Visual Studio (not VS Code) manually to run the project.
  
  After all the dependencies are successfully installed, run the main python file python3 main.py
