Remember to:

• Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
• Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
• Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

Hi, which part are you having trouble with?

You say you're new - are you new to Python or just opencv?

Have you programmed before?

[next wave]

New to python and opencv

noob

in c++ but i am not trying to use that now

[next wave]

so i installed opencv followed the guide

Now what

i got no clue what to do most tutorial have folders that install using git etc

[stiff ermine]

The description of that video seems to have code in it - have you tried following that?

[next wave]

i followed it

it's installed

ok but now i need to do the facial recognition and inject pictures etc

i have nothing to work with here

[stiff ermine]

So you have the environment setup and you want to actually write the code now - is that what you're asking?

[next wave]

yes i guess

[stiff ermine]

Your topic says you can't figure out the python env

[next wave]

yes

once you follow it

you create an env

[stiff ermine]

A venv, sure

You have to on a raspberry pi or it yells at you

once you activate the venv you should just be able to use python like normal

are you unable to do that?

[next wave]

noob

new

clueless

[stiff ermine]

That doesn't help me, sorry. Where are you getting stuck?

[next wave]

ok so following most tutorial usually the installation creates a folder named facial recognition, there you find a folder with the name of the person, you put in the pictures, then you run a code and once you face the camera it will recognize the person

following the tutorial on the video i just end up with a project file

inside it there is the env

[stiff ermine]

Oh I see. That tutorial looks like it doesn't do that. It just teaches you how to set up the environment.

[next wave]

yes

[stiff ermine]

So since you're new to Python I would recommend learning Python before doing this. Either that or find another tutorial that will walk you through it. Because what you want to do is fairly complex.

There are some nice resources there - Automate the Boring Stuff with Python is popular.
