Use ThinClient or log in to Patreon on Massed Compute to download files to your Massed Compute instance.

Setup Instructions:

a. Create a folder (e.g., "AnimationAI") in a location of your choice (such as Apps or Desktop).

Do not make installation folder name as LivePortrait - same folder name sometimes causes problems.

b. Place all downloaded files into this folder.

c. Open a terminal in the folder containing your files.

Installation:

Run the following commands in the terminal:

chmod +x Massed_Compute_Install.sh
./Massed_Compute_Install.sh

Usage After Installation:

a. Open a new terminal in the folder where you downloaded and executed the files.

b. Run the following commands for Human Live Portrait APP:

export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
cd LivePortrait
source venv/bin/activate
python3 app.py --share 

c. Run the following commands for Animal Live Portrait APP:

export PYTHONWARNINGS="ignore"
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
cd LivePortrait
source venv/bin/activate
python3 app_animals.py --share 

Note: Remove the "--share True" flag if you don't want to use Gradio live.

The Gradio live URL can be accessed from your computer, tablet, or phone.

If you rent multiple GPU machine, you can start different instances on each GPU by changing export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=1 2 3 4 etc
