PyInstaller + face_recognition Exe Runtime Error

Description

I was trying to execute an exe file I had made using PyInstaller that utilized the face_recognition library. Unfortunately when executing the file, I got a Runtime Error. I saw a similar error (#628) which told me to install the models but after runningpip install face_recognition_models and remaking the exe, I am still getting this error.

Error:

RuntimeError: Unable to open /tmp/_MEIJebbbx/face_recognition_models/models/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat

Full Error Message:

Any and all insight is appreciated. Thanks!

It is just - pip install face_recognition. I think.

It is just - pip install face_recognition. I think.

In order to install the face_recognition library (which I have already done) you need pip install face_recognition However, the error message says it cannot open face_recognition_models and so I pip installed the models as well but it is still throwing the error

I have this problem, too 。 help!datas=[('shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat','./face_recognition_models/models'),('shape_predictor_5_face_landmarks.dat','./face_recognition_models/models'),('mmod_human_face_detector.dat','./face_recognition_models/models'),('dlib_face_recognition_resnet_model_v1.dat','./face_recognition_models/models')],

i use this,that is run

Did you find any solution?

Use pyinstaller -c PyFileName.py (with console) or pyinstaller -w PyFileName.py (without console) instead of pyinstaller --onefile PyFileName.py. Then add folder containing face_recognition models .dat files. Example, "face_recognition_models/models/shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat" in the same folder of the executable file.
