Photo De-Duplication

Install Windows

cd dedup
python -m venv C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\Common\env_dedup

Check to see if C:\Users$env:USERNAME\Common\env_dedup\Scripts OR bin folder exists in Windows...

& C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\Common\env_dedup\Scripts\Activate.ps1

If you get an error like: "running scripts is disabled on this system" It means your PowerShell execution policy is too restrictive. You can temporarily allow scripts by running:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

After that repeat the Activate Script command:

If that does not work, then TRY:
& C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\Common\env_dedup\bin\Activate.ps1

Here are the packages that need to be installed by pip:

pip install xxhash opencv-python

Usage Windows:

Again, verify if the folder exists Scripts or bin:

& C:\Users\$env:USERNAME\Common\env_dedup\Scripts\Activate.ps1
