Notes

• face-recognition.js package doesn't work in node >= 12. Try NodeJS version 10 (use nvm to have multiple NodeJS installs)
  
• Make sure you have CMake and Visual Studio 2017 installed
  
• npm install can be tricky since face-recognition library has lots of depedencies
  
• Avoid using too large files like 5k+ width, since they can crash face-recognition library
  
• Special ponctuation characters can't be read and will be skipped
  

Usage

• Update folder variable at index.js
