  • You should probably provide some context. – André Reichelt Aug 25 '20 at 13:18
  • Alright, Andre Reichelt, so I am working on a face recognition system using machine learning and I need dlib for that. I made a new environment in anaconda just for dlib then I installed dlib in that environment and it was installed successfully without any error. Now to make sure it was correctly installed I used python and imported dlib at that time it showed the error shown above. I have tried downgrading dlib to 19.19 version but that also doesn't work and shows same error. – Himanshu Narula Aug 26 '20 at 06:26

I have found solution for this it might be that your cpu doesnt support AVX so I install tensorflow from this custommade repository found on github link is here

I selected 1.12.0 for py 37 in that folder select py36 folder and cpu folder and download the file within sse2

cpu which doesn support download sse2 whl

    Hi, Revisto I have found that the avx supported cpu were introduced in 2011 and my cpu was introduced in 2014. So I don't think that is the problem. – Himanshu Narula Aug 26 '20 at 05:57
