Solution

  • Try:

    pip uninstall face_recognition
pip install face_recognition

    If the issue persists, you may need to try pip install --no-cache-dir or manually removing the module's files from your system and then reinstalling it.

    Additionally, make sure that you have installed all of the required dependencies for the face_recognition module, such as cmake, opencv, and dlib.
