Appendix B: Setup of Dependencies
Understand how to set up your local Python environment for facial analysis by installing key libraries and downloading pre-trained neural network models. This lesson guides you through creating a virtual environment, managing dependencies, and validating your setup to run face recognition projects smoothly.
Throughout this course, you came across many Python libraries for face-related applications. You’ve already managed the installation of these libraries and other dependencies on the platform. If you want to create a similar setup locally on your computer, you may follow the steps listed below. It would be helpful get a quainted with basic Python administrative tasks, such as creating and activating a Python virtual environment. Please also note that the following installation guide is for Linux-based computers.
The application skeleton
First and foremost, you need to make sure that Python3 is installed on your system.
