Article How to Install Deep Live Cam and Replace Face in Real Time

[Martin W Luis]

What's up, guys! Today we're going to install Deep Live Cam, a cool thing that lets you swap faces on your webcam or in a video. Yes, now you can put your face on a photo of Jason Statham and feel cool... well, no, you won't.

​

Step 1. Preparing for installation​

Before you launch this mega-dragoon, you need to install a few things. If they're missing, everything will go to hell.

1. Install Chocolatey (if you're on Windows)

Run PowerShell as administrator and type:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://community.chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

2. Install Python 3.10, Git and FFmpeg:

choco install python --version=3.10.0 -y
choco install git -y
choco install ffmpeg -y

3. Check the installation:

python --version
git --version
ffmpeg -version

If there is an error somewhere, catch the bream and check the installation.

4. Install Visual Studio C++ Build Tools 2022 Download and install them from here: https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vs_BuildTools.exe

If you have NVIDIA GPU, then install CUDA:

choco install cuda -y
And check with the command:
nvidia-smi

If there is an error, then you broke everything - deal with the drivers.

Step 2. Download Deep Live Cam​

Now clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/hacksider/Deep-Live-Cam.git

cd Deep-Live-Cam
Install all dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

If you have a GPU, add CUDA support:

pip install onnxruntime-gpu

Step 3. Download models​

Go to Hugging Face and download the files:

Step 4. Check and go to verification​

The program opens, select a face and either upload a video or turn on the webcam. Click "Start" and get a decent fake.

Here's what you can do:

Change your face in real time
Insert yourself in any video
Make memes with cats (no, animals are not allowed yet)
Possible errors and solutions

python: command not found → Check if Python is added to PATH.

CUDA is not found → Update NVIDIA drivers and run nvidia-smi.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'something' → Run pip install -r requirements.txt again.

That's it, now you're officially a master of face swapping!
