How can I install the face_recognition on the window?

It is happening the same with me. I'm using Debian Buster 10. I hope there is a good soul out there carrying the answer.

The problem occurs even after installing dlib. But while installing dlib a message was saying:

/usr/include/python3.7m/pythread.h:97:17: note: declared here
 PyAPI_FUNC(int) PyThread_set_key_value(int key, void *value) Py_DEPRECATED(3.7);

Update: if you're facing the same issue: try.... try... and try again. I read someone saying that was able to install after attempting 14th times. I don't know how to explain, but for me it was successfully installed after trying a lot of times,

1. pip install CMake.
2. Install VS community and under individual components -choose Visual C++ tools for CMake. Click here to download VS installer

3. pip install face_recognition.

I know this method install's cmake twice but it works.

ps: pip install face_recognition will take a lot of time so be patient
