Facerec is a face authentication system for Ubuntu Linux that works while logging in, running "sudo" commands, etc. with a user-friendly CLI to operate it.
sudo apt update
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rushabh-v/facerec
sudo apt install facerec
source ~/.bashrc
wget https://github.com/rushabh-v/linux_face_unlock/releases/download/v1.1/facerec_1.1_all.deb
sudo apt install -y python3-pip python3-opencv python3-setuptools python-execnet cmake libatlas-base-dev build-essential
sudo dpkg -i facerec_1.1_all.deb
source ~/.bashrc
NOTE: The deb package won't receive updates automatically. The PPA method is more preferable.

Try using the tab compeletions. It is one of the trivial features I am extra proud of 😂
- Bug reports, Feature requests and PRs will be highly appreciated.
- Dockerfile for the testing environment can be found here. (Will soon upload the image to docker hub)
- Currently, facerec is only supported on Ubuntu. Adding support for other distros is on the list of major future plans.
- If you don't have root access. Go to recovery mode as root and run,
facerec remove
