Installation of dlib with pip fails on Windows 10

I tried a lot to install pip install dlib but it always shows an error and I reinstalled cmake.

I got the error:

Answer

Here I got the error that line

CMake Error: CMAKE_C_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage CMake Error: CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER not set, after EnableLanguage

  • set CMake path into environment variable (As Shown in Figure) enter image description here

  • Installing Visual Studio build tool latest version link: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/#build-tools-for-visual-studio-2017 enter image description here

  • after installing the Visual studio build tool select the package which needed and download it.
  • after download & installing successfully visual studio install dlib by commanding in CMD(ADMINISTRATOR) pip install dlib
