You have to install cmake and dlib:

On the face_recognition github page:

Installing on Mac or Linux First, make sure you have dlib already installed with Python bindings. Then, make sure you have cmake installed:

So run these:

pip install cmake

pip install dlib

Before you install face_recognition:

pip install face_recognition

If you're getting an error while installing dlib look at this answer. Also watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjRFCTmK2SY

  • It says that ```git``` is not a recognized as an internal or external command – CreeperNinjaYT Oct 21 '21 at 01:54
  • You'll need to install `git` first: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git – krmogi Oct 21 '21 at 01:58
  • I did your method and got this https://pastebin.com/bmXXg36e I did what the video said but this is what I got when trying to install that file ```C:\Users\Kevin Gree>pip install dlib-19.19.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl WARNING: Requirement 'dlib-19.19.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl' looks like a filename, but the file does not exist ERROR: dlib-19.19.0-cp37-cp37m-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.``` – CreeperNinjaYT Oct 21 '21 at 02:24
