I am a newbie to Openface. Due to some reasons I want to install Openface in windows with python. It would be great if anyone could guide me through that. I have searched online, but not a single article talks about windows python installation. May be I am asking a very simple question but please help me through this.

I'm not aware of OpenFace being used on Windows directly, but please contribute any changes necessary to the repository if you start working on this. I expect there to be a few compatibility issues with Linux-only features.

A workaround solution is to the prebuilt OpenFace Docker container on Windows with a Docker machine. Some of this is from the OpenFace setup guide. First start a Linux Docker machine on Windows. Then pull the OpenFace docker container from here:

docker pull bamos/openface
docker run -p 9000:9000 -p 8000:8000 -t -i bamos/openface /bin/bash
cd /root/openface
./demos/compare.py images/examples/{lennon*,clapton*}
./demos/classifier.py infer models/openface/celeb-classifier.nn4.small2.v1.pkl ./images/examples/carell.jpg
./demos/web/start-servers.sh
