Can't use face_recognition cli

• Operating System: Fedora 28

Description

I've just installed face_recognition and dlib. When I run this command below, I get that output.

face_recognition ~/people_i_know/ ./unknown_people/

What I Did

I tried to install dlib 19.7. I downloaded it from sourceforge.net and tried to compile according to this: https://gist.github.com/ageitgey/629d75c1baac34dfa5ca2a1928a7aeaf

Rather than compiling boost, dlib I simply install dlib with: pip install dlib

Now I get something about Click

[orange@machine ~]$ face_recognition ./pictures_of_people_i_know/ ./unknown_pictures/

Did you install face_recognition without it's dependencies? Just running pip install face_recognition should install all the dependencies and fix this error.

[mirkancal]

I couldn't do it. I had to do it with root privileges.

sudo pip install face_recognition

But now I can only use face_recognition with sudo.

sudo face_recognition ./people_i_know/ ./unknown_people/ works. It does not work without sudo now.

When I tried to pip install face_recognition without sudo.

It gaves me this error:

Command "/usr/bin/python2 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-build-Mv3fiZ/face-recognition-models/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-xfpEw6-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-Mv3fiZ/face-recognition-models/
