Dlib: can't install dlib on windows 10 for python

[semsimsom]

hi,
I have windows 10 64 bit and i try and try to install dlib for python with this command:
python setup.py install
but i get error below:

at the end i say that, i want use dlib on python .
does anyone can help me???

Thanks a lot....

-- Could NOT find Boost

you should download and install boost
this is not a problem of dlib itself, please ask such questions on stackoverflow

[ShacharWeis]

I have the same problem, and I have installed boost according to their setup instructions.

[davisking]

http://dlib.net/faq.html#Whywon'tthePythonbindingscompilework

[ShacharWeis]

Thanks.
How do you actually install boost_python under windows?
I can't find anything about that.

My cmake is getting these errors:
Could not find the following static Boost libraries:
boost_python-py34

I have python 3.4.0 installed.

[davisking]

CMake should output some instructions that tell you what to do. There are also instructions on the boost website. Also, you can pip install dlib for the 64bit version of python 3 on windows. That's what I would do.

[ShacharWeis]

pip install also fails. After about 6 hours of following vague and contradicting boost installation manuals, endless errors, re-installs and whatnots, I've given up on getting DLIB python compiled. My hate towards boost is now intense and all consuming.

[davisking]

Yeah, it's annoying. Although I would place the blame for this on the
python community. Compiling python modules is an unmitigated cluster
fuck. There are hundreds of different possible python
configurations/environments that all require slightly different build
settings and are all incompatible with each other.

The pip install should work on windows. I uploaded a compiled binary for
dlib for the 64bit version of the new python 3 interpreter a while ago. It
should just install in a second. Although, maybe you don't have exactly
that specific version of python and pip thinks it therefore needs to
compile a new one.

[valtron]

I uploaded a compiled binary for dlib for the 64bit version of the new python 3 interpreter a while ago

I haven't been able to find this. Pypi only has the source for 19.1.0; the releases for this repo are only the source. Where is the dlib binary?

[davisking]

Huh, yeah I don't see it on pypi either. I swear I uploaded it :/

I'll look into this tomorrow.

[valtron]

After some more snooping, I found it: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dlib/18.17.100

[davisking]

That's the older one. I made one for the newer version of dlib (which isn't very different if you use only python). The upload to pypi must not have worked, apparently, and I didn't check since the upload didn't indicate any obvious failure.

[rendicahya]

Try "conda install -c menpo dlib"

[rockbass2560]

conda install -c menpo dlib worked for me, however I had to downgrade python to version 3.5

[rafa1985]

I have been asked to download the dlib library on my windows system. I have followed the instructions given here: http://www.paulvangent.com/2016/08/05/emotion-recognition-using-facial-landmarks/

I have already downloaded nad install cmake, boost and Visual Studio. On the dlib folder
command prompt, on running "python setup.py install" I get the problem that you can see in the picture added.

I have python 3.6 with conda,

ok maybe the simple solution is downgrade python to version 3.5 and :

conda install -c menpo dlib

but how I can do that?

Thanks in advance

[davisking]

You don't have a C++ compiler installed. You need to select C++ when you install visual studio. Also, make sure to install visual studio 2015 because visual studio 2017 is buggy and won't compile C++11 code, which is a requirement to use dlib.

[rafa1985]

Thanks for your quick response davisking.

You are right, there was a problem with visual studio 2017 so I installed visual studio 2015 with c++ packs.

However now I have other problem:

Has you any idea how I can solved it?

Thanks in advance

[davisking]

That error message literally tells you what to do.

[rafa1985]

I followed that error message literally without luck. Finally I solved that problem downgrading python to version 3.5 and conda install -c menpo dlib. Thanks for the help :)

-- *********************** ********
-- We couldn't find the right version of boost python. If you installed boo st and you are still getting this error then you might have installed a version of boost that was compiled with a different version of visual studio than the on e you are using. So you have to make sure that the version of visual studio is the same version that was used to compile the copy of boost you are using.
-- Set the BOOST_ROOT and BOOST_LIBRARYDIR environment variables before run ning cmake.
-- E.g. Something like this:
-- set BOOST_ROOT=C:\local\boost_1_57_0
-- set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR=C:\local\boost_1_57_0\stage\lib
--
-- You will also likely need to compile boost yourself rather than using on e of the precompiled

-- bootstrap.bat. Then run the command:
-- b2 install
-- And then add the output bin folder to your PATH. Usually this is the C: \boost-build-engine\bin
-- folder. Finally, go to the boost root and run a command like this:
-- b2 -a --with-python address-model=64 toolset=msvc runtime-link=static
-- When it completes, set BOOST_LIBRARYDIR equal to wherever b2 put the com piled libraries.
-- Note that you will need to set the address-model based on if you want a 32 or 64bit python library.
--
-- Next, when you invoke cmake to compile dlib you may have to use cmake's -G option to set the
-- 64 vs. 32bit mode of visual studio. Also, if you want a Python3 library you will need to
-- add -DPYTHON3=1. You do this with a statement like:
-- cmake -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" -DPYTHON3=1 ....\tools\python
-- Rather than:
-- cmake ....\tools\python
-- Which will build a 32bit Python2 module by default on most systems.

Try "conda install -c menpo dlib"

@rendicahya, would you mind to explain how and why does it work when pip install dlib doesn't? I mean: what else happens when I use conda instead of pip and what is menpo?

[HeNKiEeEeE]

. After about 6 hours of following vague and contradicting boost installation manuals, endless errors, re-installs and whatnots, I've given up on getting DLIB python compiled. My hate towards boost is now intense and all consuming.

100% agreed.

[davisking]

Did you download boost from boost.org and follow the exact instructions shown in @hadaev8's post? The dlib output messages tell you what to type. They are the commands I use myself to install on Windows.

Also, yes, boost is difficult. Someone should switch dlib to pybind11 https://github.com/davisking/dlib/issues/293 and then boost won't be required :)

[davisking]

Although I should point out that a lot of the hate I get about boost is really due to python's incredibly horrible build and package management situation. The only reason pybind11 would be better is because it's header only and therefore you don't have to separately compile it against the correct version of python. For instance, if you have multiple versions of python installed, as many users do, you have to be sure you are compiling all extension modules against the version of python you actually use. Additionally, there are all these python repackagers cough anaconda cough that fuck up the pyhton interpreter's install by either removing important files like python development libraries/headers or by adding broken copies of standard system headers like modified X11 headers.

There are many other problems. And worse of all, I know about all these busted features of the python ecosystem because I'm inundated with people complaining about them :(

Really there needs to be a stable interface for building python extension modules. That's the root of this problem.

But in any case, those instructions posted in this github thread you are reading should work just fine if you are using a copy of python that you got from python.org. If it's some other repackaged copy of python then who knows.

[hwathanh]

This is tutorial to install dlib on windows 10: http://www.learnopencv.com/install-dlib-on-windows/. It works for me. Hope helpful!

[deeptechs]

Davis, I think it is better to add a note about windows boost pre-built binaries. I spent one day to find the problem. This dll file "boost_python3-vc140-mt-1_65_1.dll" depends still Python27.

Windows Boost binaries still have a bug :

https://github.com/boostorg/python/issues/129

You have to build Boost from source, don't use pre-built windows binaries of Boost.

[davisking]

Yes, I have a million notes that tell people to build boost themselves. I don't know how many more places I can say it.

[anoumaru]

I've run conda install -c conda-forge dlib=19.4 and it worked !

[davisking]

It's come to my attention that a lot of people are landing on this page when looking for instructions on installing dlib's python interface on windows. THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS ISSUE ARE OUTDATED, in particular, boost is no longer used. All you need to do is install CMake and Microsoft Visual C++. Then just pip install dlib. That's it.

[rockbass2560]

I found this repository I think it can be useful for someone. I used it and it works well.

[davisking]

That error is indicating that you don't have visual studio installed.

[tomatopuree]

@davisking
It seems like that is not the case since I have Visual Studio 2017 installed on the machine described above.

[davisking]

Well, cmake isn't finding it. There are a lot of options when you install
visual studio. Maybe you only installed the C# development tools. You need
to install the Visual C++ tools.

[tomatopuree]

For future reference for people having my problem, reinstalling (modifying) Visual Studio 2017 to include "Desktop development with C++" in it's installation has solved the problem described above.

Thank you @davisking

[sonineha2191]

Try "conda install -c menpo dlib"

Thanks a lot, it worked for me too.

[kumarcsie]

How do i install dlib and opencv in python anaconda?

[sonineha2191]

How do i install dlib and opencv in python anaconda?

have you tried this?
conda install -c conda-forge dlib=19.4

[kumarcsie]

Of course I did. But cant.. I think the version of anaconda and python are different in my pc..

[Mehran970]

The best Python for run dlib is Python 3.6.8. So:
1- Install Python 3.6.8 from here for 64bit and here for 32bit.
2- Go to cmd command prompt and upgrade pip command with _pip install --upgrade pip_ command.
2- Install cmake library (command: _pip install cmake_).
3- Install dlib library:

for 64 bit with following steps:
A) copy this link
B) Install dlib with _pip install _

for 32 bit only with _pip install dlib_ command.

Good luck
