I have been trying to install dlib and face_recognition in anaconda and haven't been able to do so. I did install visual studio and cmake and tried it. Still shows the below error

What am i missing here?? I have looked at all the solutions from different sources.

  1. Installe CMake and looked for the path variable and it exists.
  2. Installed Visual Studio Build Tools and still shows as not exists as per the above error.

Can anyone suggest me what is wrong here??

I can see from you PATH that you have conda. You can use precompile versions from conda-forge channel.

# create environment with any name 
# and install dlib and face_recognition from conda-forge channel 

conda create --name faces python=3.7 dlib face_recognition --channel conda-forge

To use, activate the environment and use your package

conda activate faces
python -c "import face_recognition"

This will most lively not make use of your GPU's if you have them. To do so, we have to build dlib from source matching your specific GPU settings. That needs more work. See another SO forum dlib installation on Windows 10

  • So when i tried this i am getting a new error (base) C:\WINDOWS\system32>conda create --name faces python=3.7 dlib face_recognition --channel conda-forge Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed NotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to a required path. path: C:\Users\gauta\anaconda3\pkgs\cache\f7597cf7.json – Gautam Raj Kollabathula Apr 11 '21 at 15:33
  • This is because you are in `C:\WINDOWS\system32>` You need administrator power to install anything in that folder. Try Documents or any other place – Prayson W. Daniel Apr 11 '21 at 16:47
  • I did. Changed it to other folders. Still gives the same issue. – Gautam Raj Kollabathula Apr 12 '21 at 04:36
  • What folder are you in? Can you try Documents folder? – Prayson W. Daniel Apr 12 '21 at 15:14

You can try this way download the zip file https://github.com/CodeEZ-Dev/face-recognition_dlib_library here and extract it to C:\Users<User name> location. Then open your command prompt and run the wheel pip install dlib-19.19.0-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl if you are using python version 3.8.This will get dlib installed and it will not throw errors when installing face_recognition afterwards.
