Dlib and face-recognition file Installation issue in face-recognition project


I am trying to run the face-recognition project in pycham. There was no requirement file in that project. To create that file I take help from google collab and generate the requirement.txt file.

then I paste the requirement.txt file into the folder and run the project in pycham IDE. Create a new environment and run this command pip install -r requirements.txt All necessary libraries install except Dlib and face-recognition give an error picture-error

A screenshot of the error is attached. any solution or alternative to this issue?


Solution

  • The problem is with a dependecy you have called dlip . For some reason it is in your requirements.txt , which I think is just an error.

    Anyway, I poked around the METADATA file of the dlip-0.0.1 wheel and saw that it wrongly tries to install numnpy as dependency (instead of numpy) . See:

    enter image description here

    So I guess what you want to do is remove the dlip dependecy from the requirements.txt. it seems to me that you have a typo there, and it just should have been dlib.
