⚠️ Common Installation Issues

Issue: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'src'

• ✅ Fixed in latest version! Scripts now support direct execution.
• Alternative: Run as module: python -m src.main_build_database

Issue: dlib installation fails on Windows

• Use pre-built wheels: See TROUBLESHOOTING.md
• Or use Conda: conda install -c conda-forge dlib
• Python 3.13 is not supported yet - use Python 3.10 or 3.11

Issue: No module named 'cv2'

• Install OpenCV: pip install opencv-python

Issue: No space left on device (Windows)

• Free up C: drive space (need ~10GB)
• Or change TEMP directory: See TROUBLESHOOTING.md
