How to install Exadel CompreFace on MXLinux Latest

Exadel CompreFace is a powerful facial recognition solution that leverages machine learning and computer vision algorithms to identify faces in images and videos. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Exadel CompreFace on MXLinux Latest, a fast and lightweight Linux distribution based on Debian.

Step 1: Install Docker

Exadel CompreFace requires Docker to be installed on your system. To install Docker on MXLinux Latest, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Enter the following command to update the package list:

   sudo apt update
   

3. Install the necessary packages for Docker:

   sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg-agent software-properties-common
   

4. Add Docker’s official GPG key:

   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
   

5. Add the Docker repository to your system:

   sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
   

6. Update the package list again:

   sudo apt update
   

7. Install Docker:

   sudo apt install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
   

8. Verify that Docker is installed correctly by running the following command:

   sudo docker run hello-world
   

   This command should download a test image and run it in a container. If everything is working correctly, Docker should output a message saying “Hello from Docker!”

Step 2: Install Exadel CompreFace

Now that Docker is installed on your system, you can proceed with the installation of Exadel CompreFace. Follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal window.

2. Create a new directory for the CompreFace installation:

   mkdir compreface
   

3. Move into the new directory:

   cd compreface
   

4. Download the CompreFace docker-compose.yml file:

   wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/exadel-inc/CompreFace/master/docker-compose.yml
   

5. Open the docker-compose.yml file in a text editor and modify the following lines:

   compreface-api:
     image: exadel/compreface-api:latest
     mem_limit: 1024M
     ports:
       - "8080:8080"
   

   Change the port mapping to:

   ports:
     - "8082:8080"
   

   This will map the CompreFace API to port 8082 on your local machine.

6. Save the docker-compose.yml file.

7. Start the CompreFace containers:

   sudo docker-compose up -d
   

8. Verify that the containers are running correctly:

   sudo docker ps
   

   This command should output a list of running containers, including the CompreFace containers.

9. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8082/. You should see the CompreFace web interface.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Exadel CompreFace on MXLinux Latest. You are now ready to start using this powerful facial recognition system.
