Probably you don't have C++ Build Tools installed. Try installing it before cmake. In general, there is a good guide for this

yes, I didn't install anything related to c++. Is there any resource you can recommend or can you briefly describe it? – Yusuf Osmanoğlu Jul 07 '23 at 22:13

try these steps:

Install CMake: Ensure that you have CMake installed on your system. If not, you can download and install it from the official website: https://cmake.org/install/
Install Visual Studio (Windows): If you are using Windows, make sure you have Visual Studio with C++ support installed. click here to download
Update pip: Ensure that you have the latest version of pip installed.

pip install --upgrade pip

When done updating, try installing dlib again.

If you still encounter issues, you can try installing dlib from the master branch on GitHub by following the instructions in the README file.
