pip2 install MemoryError about face_recognition HOT 8 CLOSED

I think the issue is the file is too big for your available pip cache memory.

Can you try pip2 --no-cache-dir install face_recognition instead and see if that fixes the issue?

Thanks I tried it and it continued onward!
Though now I am experiencing a different error, despite already downloading cmake.

This issue is not about cmake itself. It's that dlib is failing to compile because it can't find a c++ compiler on your system.

I've never compiled dlib myself on Windows, so I can't really help you unfortunately. You might check the dlib docs at http://dlib.net. It probably involves installing Visual Studio, installing boost-python, and then compiling dlib. Sorry I don't have an easier answer.

I have been having quite alot of trouble trying to fix it from various computers, with help from what you said...Thanks for the help though!

Also could I possibly get dlib to work it's configuration problems and all that via https://github.com/Microsoft/vcpkg
?

I also am having quite alot of trouble getting vcpkg to work too...

Like I said in the project README, I haven't tested this library on Windows at all. I've only tested it on macOS and Linux. I don't have a machine with Windows, so unfortunately I can't help. Sorry about that.

Closing this issue since the original issue in the title is fixed. But I'm sorry I don't have better advice yet for installing on Windows.

@lambaaada Could you open an issue on https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg with your Dlib issue? We'd be happy to fix it!

@lambaaada Just a thought here: it seems that you already had dlib installed on your system and that it was uninstalled while using pip... As a workaround, do you think it would help (after having reinstalled dlib from where you installed it in the first place) to clone the face_recognition repo, to edit the setup.py file removing dlib from the requirements list, then run python setup.py install in a terminal?
