Today, I am releasing v1.1 of my software “Facerec — Linux face unlock”. It is highly optimized and it has a user-friendly CLI to operate it. You can install it just like any other ubuntu software with apt install.

Story

I first built this software around a year ago, as my academic project at my university. I decided its name to be Facerec. I ended up pushing it on GitHub with a set of instructions to install it. Initially, I didn’t expect a lot of people would use it. It didn’t have a friendly installation/usage guide. I was pleasantly surprised when people reach out to me via email and LinkedIn, with the problems they were facing. So I decided to put some more time to make it better and user friendly.
