# init(workingDirectory:)

Creates a face group analyzer at the specified directory.

## Declaration

```swift
init(workingDirectory: URL) throws
```

## Parameters

- `workingDirectory`: The directory where the analyzer stores its face data and metadata. The directory must already exist.

## Mentioned in

Detecting and grouping faces in images

## Discussion

Discussion The analyzer loads any existing face data from workingDirectory on initialization, so subsequent runs resume from where the previous session ended.
