Download " Binary distributions " with your system OS version from this link. Add install cmake to your system environment variable. Everything will be okay. It worked for me.

Here is the main thread solution of this error https://stackoverflow.com/a/52564257/7060530

I ran into this issue as well. I am using windows and have a python environment that I am installing the requirements to.

I ran pip install cmake , and then pip install dlib. I no longer received the error and successfully installed dlib.

Before installing dlib you need to install prerequisites (cmake, libgtk-3-dev, libboost-all-dev)

If you are using Ubuntu you can install them from terminal

sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake

sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev

sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev

For MACOS you can follow this tutorial
