.. _bob.pad.face.installation: ====================== Setting up Databases ====================== To run face PAD algorithms using this package, you'll need to make sure to download the raw files corresponding to the databases you'd like to process. The raw files are **not** distributed with Bob_ software as biometric data is, to most countries, considered sensible data that cannot be obtained without explicit licensing from a data controller. You must visit the websites below, sign the license agreements and then download the data before trying out to run the baselines. .. note:: If you're at the Idiap Research Institute in Switzerland, the datasets in the baselines mentioned in this guide are already downloaded and pre-installed on our shared file system. You don't need to re-download databases. The current system readily supports the following freely available datasets: * `REPLAY-ATTACK`_ * `REPLAY-MOBILE`_ * `SWAN`_ * `OULU-NPU`_ * `MASK-ATTACK`_ After downloading the databases, annotate the base directories in which they are installed. Then, follow the instructions in :ref:`bob.pad.base.installation` to let this framework know where databases are located on your system. .. include:: links.rst
