In this section, we will set up the coding environment for the face recognition application. We will look at how to install dependencies. We will be installing the following two libraries:
dlib
face_recognition
Let's begin the installation process.
In order to install the dlib library, we need to perform the following steps. We can install this library either on a Linux operating system (OS), or on macOS. Let's follow the stepwise instructions:
Download the source code of dlib by executing this command:
sudo git clone https://github.com/davisking/dlib.git
.Now jump to the
dlib
directory by executing this command:cd dlib
.Now we need to build the main
dlib
library, so we need to execute the following commands stepwise:sudo mkdir build
.cd build
.cmake .. -DDLIB_USE_CUDA=0 -DUSE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS=1
.cmake --build
.
Once the project has been built successfully, you can move to the next installation steps. You also need to install OpenCV. The installation...
