Error installing Dlib library for python

While trying to install Dlib library for Python, using this tutorial http://dlib.net/compile.html.

This tutorial says to do this - 

cd examples
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

I have created a build and when I'm giving the command cmake ..

It shows me this error - 

 CMake Error: The source directory "C:/Python27/dlib-19.4.0/python_examples" 
 does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.

Simplest way to install dlib: just execute below command line.

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake pkg-config
sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libatlas-base-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libboost-python-dev
pip install dlib

These examples do not need to be compiled, only the C++ one have to.

You will however have to compile the dlib python interface, you will find information about this right underneath the C++ section, on this page : http://dlib.net/compile.html
