# Pinokio Deployment Guide for PortraitPerfectAI
This guide explains how to deploy the AI-Powered Facial & Body Feature Editor application using Pinokio for local hosting.
## What is Pinokio?
Pinokio is a browser-based platform that allows you to install, run, and manage AI applications locally on your computer. It provides a simple interface for installing and launching applications without dealing with complex command-line operations.
## Prerequisites
- [Pinokio](https://pinokio.computer/) installed on your computer
- A computer with sufficient resources to run AI applications:
- At least 8GB RAM (16GB recommended)
- At least 10GB free disk space
- NVIDIA GPU with CUDA support (optional but recommended for better performance)
## Installation Steps
1. **Download the PortraitPerfectAI Pinokio Package**
- Extract the ZIP file to a location of your choice
2. **Open Pinokio Browser**
- Launch the Pinokio application on your computer
3. **Add the Application to Pinokio**
- In Pinokio, click on the "+" button to add a new application
- Navigate to the folder where you extracted the PortraitPerfectAI files
- Select the folder and click "Open"
4. **Install the Application**
- Once added, you'll see "PortraitPerfectAI" in your Pinokio dashboard
- Click on the application
- Click the "Install" button
- Wait for the installation to complete (this may take several minutes as it installs Python dependencies)
5. **Launch the Application**
- After installation is complete, click the "Launch" button
- The application will start and open in your default web browser
## Using the Application
Once launched, you can:
- Upload images for editing
- Select facial and body features to modify
- Adjust settings using sliders and dropdowns
- Apply AI-powered edits to your images
- Download the edited results
## Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues:
1. **Installation Fails**
- Ensure you have a stable internet connection
- Check that you have sufficient disk space
- Try restarting Pinokio and attempting installation again
2. **Application Won't Launch**
- Check the Pinokio logs for any error messages
- Ensure Python is properly installed on your system
- Try reinstalling the application
3. **Slow Performance**
- If you don't have a GPU, processing will be slower
- Try reducing the image size before uploading
- Adjust the processing parameters to lower values
## Technical Details
The Pinokio package includes:
- `install.json` - Defines the installation process
- `run.json` - Defines how to run the application
- `pinokio.js` - Contains metadata and menu configuration
- `app.py` - The main application file
- Supporting modules in the `models/` and `utils/` directories
The application uses a Python virtual environment to isolate dependencies and ensure compatibility across different systems.
