I have been playing with facial recognition a little bit in python, but have been having trouble with getting dlib to work.
I am on a windows 10 environment, working inside of the Pycharm terminal using pip to install everything. When I try to install dlib inside of the terminal, I get a message stating it failed with error code 1.
Command "C:\Users\Jonathan\PycharmProjects\image_recognition\venv\Scripts\python.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='C:\\Users\\Jonathan\\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-install-87y4zmcs\\dlib\\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read()
.replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-record-ug95jqxj\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile --install-headers C:\Users\Jonathan\PycharmProjects\image
_recognition\venv\include\site\python3.7\dlib" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\Jonathan\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-87y4zmcs\dlib\
So i opened up the dlib tar.zip file, extracted it, and ran the setup.py and copied the dlib folder inside of that into my site-packages folder.
After that when I try to use the python library face_recognition, I get this error from dlib-
C:\Users\Jonathan\PycharmProjects\image_recognition\venv\Scripts\python.exe C:/Users/Jonathan/PycharmProjects/image_recognition/image_recognition.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

face_detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector()

I have installed cmake within the terminal as well before I ran the face_recognition. Any help would be appreciated. I will be able to check this in about 15-20 minutes.
