Intro

This project provides scripts inspired by DeepFaceLab_Linux to setup and run DeepFaceLab on MacOS.

You’ll need git, ffmpeg, python3 and python module virtualenv available to be able to execute these scripts. The scripts will create a virtual env sandbox and will install all necessary dependencies there, so your main installation of python3 will be left intact.

NOTE: Apple M1 chip

Currently there’s limited support for Apple M1 laptops. You can do model training, but the XSeg editor currently does not work (the DeepFaceLab codebase is not compatible with PyQt6).

Setup

Tools

Make sure you have installed:

• Git (check with git --version)
• FFmpeg (check with ffmpeg -version)
• Python 3 (check with python3 --version)
• Virtualenv (check with virtualenv --version)

For Apple M1 laptops you also need hdf5 lib installed. Check if you have it with brew ls --versions hdf5. Install it with brew install hdf5.

Clone and setup

1. Clone this repository (git clone https://github.com/chychkan/DeepFaceLab_MacOS.git)
2. Run script ./scripts/0_setup.sh to get DeepFaceLab, create virtual env and install necessary Python dependencies. This may take several minutes to run.

Now you can put your data_src.mp4 and data_dst.mp4 files into the workspace/ dir and start running scripts from the scripts/ dir.
