Ideal for running on other machines that may be *slow* or *outdated* (such as my laptop and my Vitual Machine in Virtual Box).

The `server\main_inference.py` file is designed to **offload all graphical processing**. This means that whether you’re using an older laptop or running from a virtual machine, you can simply run the following command on your main (powerful) machine:

## Running in GPU
Follow the instructions in [README.gpu.md](docs/README.gpu.md)

## Running inside Virtual Box

When running inside a **virtual machine** (in the background so you can still use your mouse on the host), it is recommended to limit resources for smoother performance.

Follow the instructions in [README.virtual_machine.md](docs/README.virtual_machine.md)
