I am using DeepFace library in Dataiku. When I write code in Jupyter notebook and try to import the library, I am able to do it. But when I try to export it as python recipe and try to execute the same code it's not working. It gives me Permission Error.
How to resolve this?

    This error is happening since the DeepFace package is trying to write to a folder you don't have permissions to. You can see the code doing that here:

    https://github.com/serengil/deepface/blob/cc484b54be5188eb47faf132995af16a871d70b9/deepface/commons/folder_utils.py#L15

    On the same file you can see the get_deepface_home() function tries to find the DEEPFACE_HOME environment variable and defaults to the current directory + .deepface which is why you get /data/dataiku/.deepface. You can try to set the DEEPFACE_HOME environment variable to a folder your user ID has full write permissions before you import deepface like this:

    import os
    os.environ["DEEPFACE_HOME"] = "/some/folder/"
