Error Installing Face rec stuck on dlib modile

I am tryin to install face-recognition module using the standard method but getting stuck at the dlib dependency

There are two parts of the Question first is ofcourse how to Fix this secondly is there a better alternative to get started with face recognition then this ( I come from a programing background but Python is new to me)

Env Details

Tried installing dlib independently but run into the same cmake issue

The error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cmake' indicates that the Python interpreter cannot find a module named cmake.

so most likely, the solution is this:

python -m pip install cmake

Alternatively, you are running it from an incorrect path or similar (maybe a virtual environment if you use one)...

Also, here is a link to the cmake docs: https://pypi.org/project/cmake

In answer to the second question, there are plenty of resources. Here is a book on Python coding which looks at the OpenCV module with good examples:
