I’m not sure how best to phrase this, but as I understand it, it is impossible to install the face-recognition library on Streamlit Community Cloud.
Why? The installation of face-recognition
requires dlib
to be compiled. When dlib
is being compiled, the compiler runs out of RAM and gets OOM-killed. The default 1GB of RAM is insufficient to build the dlib
dependency for the face_recognition
Python package.
I’ve been unsuccessful in getting face_recognition
installed on Cloud via all methods Pipenv, requirements.txt, environment.yml, and pyproject.toml. Happy to proven wrong though
