what do you guys think?

You need to make sure Conda is installed and accessible from your PATH:

So I was trying to install this on my macbook laptop. my daily workhorse, it's from 2012.

under the hood:
processor: 2.5 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

I have a lenovo gaming laptop i could run faceswap on

under the hood:

Processor:Intel Core i7-5500U 2 x 2.4 - 3 GHz (Intel Core i7)
Graphics adapter: AMD Radeon R9 M375

I have a feeling the installation process and the overall performance and experience would be better if I start over on the Lenovo laptop. Am I correct?

Definitely better on the gaming laptop, yes. I would say it would be almost unusable on that Mac.

If using the Gaming laptop, make sure you select the "DIRECTML" version of Faceswap.

yeah, i dont mind these old macbooks to bring around with me. if i drop it, or my bag gets stolen, whatever. i bought it for $150 and put some sweat equity to update the OS.

i didn't even consider that the graphics card is only marginally better than a tin can with "graphics card" written on it in sharpie.

just to clarify though, even though the lenovo is an older laptop - will that graphics card be sufficient for a good experience with face swap or should i upgrade the card... or my whole rig to run the thing...

I would say it should work (based on a quick google of the specs) but it isn't going to be stellar performance. For that you'd really want an Nvidia GPU with 8GB+ VRAM.

However, for playing around and getting to know the program, it should be ok

thanks g
