Download any file with the name `microsoft-cognitive-face-php-api-client-[RELEASE_NAME].zip` for a package including this library and its dependencies.

foreach ($faces as $face) {
    $personFaceRectangle = (new \Subsan\MicrosoftCognitiveFace\Entity\FaceRectangle())->import($face->faceRectangle);

    // create person
    $person = $client->personGroup($newPersonGroupId)->person()->create(
        new \Subsan\MicrosoftCognitiveFace\Entity\Person(
            null,
            'User '.$userNumber
