Full Release Notes
**Installer for Faceswap.py 2.3** **Note: This is the installer for final version of Faceswap using Tensorflow backend and with native support for AMD GPUs under Windows. This branch is no longer updated, but the installer is retained for legacy purposes. This version supports Cuda 11.2 and ROCm versions 5.2 and 5.4** This installer will install missing prerequisites (Git, MiniConda, Tensorflow), set up the environment and create a Desktop shortcut for launching straight into the FaceSwap GUI. If running this installer, you do not need to manually install any programs yourself. For **Nvidia** users it will install CUDA and cuDNN into a Conda environment. It is recommended to remove any system-wide installs of CUDA you have from your PC. A CUDA 9.0+ capable graphics card is required. For **AMD** Users it will install PlaidML to enable use of AMD Graphics cards. # Windows Users You only need to download the file [faceswap_setup_23_x64.exe](https://github.com/deepfakes/faceswap/releases/download/v2.3.0/faceswap_setup_23_x64.exe) from this page. You should **not** run the installer as an Administrator. **NB:** It may, at times, look like the installer has hung. It hasn't. The installer has to download and install a lot of prerequisites, and it is impossible to retrieve a live update of the output into the Details window. Please be patient. **IMPORTANT**: Windows SmartScreen may flag this program as unsafe. This is because it needs to download third party applications from the internet.
