face_recognition version: 1.2.3
Python version: 3.7.4
Operating System: windows 10

Description

I have a problem with Run the file of facerec from webcam faster
so I referenced #407 issue and I revised code like
'import face_recognition' to 'from face_recognition_cli import face_recognition'

before I revised the code just like

import face_recognition

There was traceback message like this

PS C:\Users\puppy> & C:/Users/puppy/Anaconda3/python.exe c:/Tensorflow1/face/Untitled-1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:/Tensorflow1/face/Untitled-1.py", line 1, in
import face_recognition
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'face_recognition'

What I Did

and I ran, there was traceback message like this

PS C:\Users\puppy> & C:/Users/puppy/Anaconda3/python.exe c:/Tensorflow1/face/Untitled-1.py

why not you 'pip install face_recognition'? and you dirname can't named face_recognition.

Did u managed to solve this? I have the same issue @TaeHyunKim11

devupkim · 2020-01-04T14:58:46Z

No, I didn't. :<
I already done install face_recognition

Same issue

yathartharora · 2020-02-21T06:11:12Z

I am facing the same issue ..Can you please help me with it

Alamnoor · 2020-02-25T08:28:17Z

Step1: pip install cmake
Step2: pip install dlib
Step3: pip install face_recognition
it worked for me...
But install it in specific environment that will be used later for face_recognition code.

Benito2204 · 2020-03-23T20:45:38Z

Hi Alamnoor,

I installed all the three which you have mentioned but I am getting error no module named 'face_recognition'.

Please help.

Alamnoor · 2020-03-24T06:29:53Z

Hi Alamnoor,

I installed all the three which you have mentioned but I am getting error no module named 'face_recognition'.

Please help.

Have you installed it in environment from where you are running your code?
Mean:
Step 1: Open " anaconda navigator"
Step 2: Go to Environments and select required environment where you have installed face_recognition library i,e ( base (root), or you have another environments). Or you can create environment and then install this package there).
Step 3: Open "idle", or Jupyter notebook", or python shell from the current environment. Then check it. Thanks
You can feel free to contact me again. Thanks

Benito2204 · 2020-03-25T15:19:17Z

Hi Alamnoor,

Thanks for your prompt response.

I couldn't see face_recognition library in the environment but I am sure that I installed cmake, dlib, and face_recognition.

I still getting no module error.

I have been trying since 3 days but I couldn't find the solution.

Alamnoor · 2020-03-26T10:34:39Z

Can we use a platform where we will discuss it in live? After solution, we will put it here for other users. Please let me know. It should be work with above dependency. Thanks

Try not to use precompiled dlib library and try to install and compile it exclusively on your device.

You need dlib to use face_recognition library. To install and build dlib on your system, you have to have Visual Studio 2015 or newer.

As I had VS 2013, I could not install and build dlib. Therefore, I decided to install a precompiled version of dlib (.whl files). Although it was installed successfully, I had the same problem and I got the error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'face_recognition'

I managed to solve this problem by installing VS2015 and cmake. With "pip install dlib", the dlib library was installed and compiled exclusively on my system and after that with "pip install face-recognition" the library was installed and detected successfully.

Amir-ESH · 2020-04-12T08:27:09Z

My problem fixed with this way:
Install Cmake with:
sudo apt install cmake
after install cmake I installed face_recognition
pip3.8 install face_recognition

nirajmalpani · 2020-06-16T07:09:34Z

First make sure u have Visual studio code installed.
then run the following commands
pip install cmake
pip install dlib
pip install face_recognition

NusriNalir · 2020-07-17T09:57:44Z

if you have already installed dlib and face_recognition, 1st uninstall them by pip uninstall.
then make sure you have cmake installed. you can do that by
cmake –version
if not install cmake.
after that install dlib by conda. this way it will make sure you have all the dependencies installed.
conda install -c conda-forge dlib
then install face_recognition again by
pip install face_recognition

this will solve the issue. (worked for me )

Antu7 · 2020-07-23T03:43:00Z

Still same issue

NusriNalir · 2020-07-23T14:27:36Z

Still same issue

Here the trick is having installed "cmake" properly. can you check whether you have installed it correctly?

SomaNibe · 2020-07-29T11:56:59Z

It worked for me. Just
Step1: pip install cmake
Step2: pip install dlib
Step3: pip install face_recognition

Thanks @Alamnoor

ocristopfer · 2020-10-07T13:41:16Z

A used this comands to install on windows.

//Crete conda env using python 3.6, dlib work on windows 32 bits using this version of anaconda repo
conda create -n facial python=3.6 -y
activate facial

//Instaling dblib from anaconda repo
conda install -c conda-forge dlib -y

pip install opencv-python
pip install Pillow
pip install imutils
pip install face_recognition_models
//Instal face_recognition withou deps, and it don't try install dlib.
pip install face_recognition --no-deps

yzzzd · 2021-01-14T09:13:30Z

Just use pip work for me, I used pip3 before.

MahmoudG-Kotp · 2021-05-23T07:53:05Z

pip3.8 install face_recognition

this worked for me, thanks.

Hello.

Click file (top left on the pane)
Click Settings ( Directly CTRL+ALT+S)

In settings click the button with the project name,click python interpreter

Click the + button in the window that opens

Search face-recognition on search panel and install it.

mzaenuddin · 2022-07-27T04:45:37Z

pip3.8 install face_recognition

this worked for me, many thanks

jmcausing · 2022-09-23T09:53:31Z

same issue!! It was working yesterday then I turned on my PC it's not working!!

jmcausing · 2022-09-24T03:14:21Z

Ok I think this is an issue with Windows Python interpreter
This screenshot shows the same error because I am using python3 which is not part of Scripts/ folder.

So python3 is part of overall Windows Python install and not in my virtual environment. But python.exe is part of my virtual environment

Running python (not python3) works fine

mabdulrehmankhan · 2023-10-21T14:46:19Z

Step1: pip install cmake
