I had the same error this worked for me:

  • You have to install make and dlib before installing face recognition.

      pip3 install cmake
  pip3 install dlib 
  pip3 install face-recognition

  • If this doesn't work you could use Visual Studio Code as idle.

I was getting the same error when I tried it. I resolved it by degrading to python3.7.

So follow these steps :

  1. degrade or upgrade to python3.7
  2. pip3 install CMake
  3. pip3 install face-recognition

these steps will resolve the error but after that when I was using the library in my code it was again giving an error related to algorithmia. So I resolved it by downloading visual studio 2017

Hope it was helpful,
Thanks

For installing face-recognition module for Ubuntu 18.04: (Try for other OS, I used this for 18.04)

Install cmake: pip install cmake After cmake is successfully installed

Optional: Install git if you don't have git

git clone https://github.com/davisking/dlib.git

build the main dlib library

cd dlib mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; cmake --build .

Build and install python essentials

cd .. python3 setup.py install

After all this run these to verify

python3 
import dlib

Now install face_recognition

pip3 install face_recognition

Takes some time but that is okay! I hope it worked for you

Refer these materials:

face_recognition package requires dlib and it is a very huge package and problematic in installation. I recommend you to adopt deepface package for face recognition. It is mainly based on Keras and TensorFlow. In other words, it is easy to make initial setup.

Besides, it wraps dlib and some other state-of-the-art face recognition models: VGG-Face (University of Oxford), FaceNet (Google), OpenFace (Carneige Mellon University), DeepFace (Facebook ) and DeepID (The Chienese University of Hong Kong). I recommend you to use VGG-Face or FaceNet models.

You should just pass image pairs as exact paths. BTW, you can pass base64 encoded images or direct numpy arrays as image pairs.

#!pip install deepface
from deepface import DeepFace
models = ['VGG-Face', 'Facenet', 'OpenFace', 'DeepFace', 'DeepID']
result  = DeepFace.verify("img1.jpg", "img2.jpg", model_name = models[0])
print(result["verified"])

Result object stores the found distance and required distance threshold to verify an image pair.

From http://dlib.net/compile.html :

Note that you need to have CMake and a working C++ compiler installed for this to work.

(Emphasize mine — phd)

Install CMake from https://cmake.org/download/ or https://pypi.org/project/cmake/. Try pip install cmake
