Installation of the Dlib Library for Python (Anaconda) under Windows system

0. Introduction

Introduces the Windows 10 64-bit system and installs the Dlib library in Python using the Anaconda development environment;

Windows Dlib installation is very unfriendly, so here to share the installation process;

WINDOWS10 + Anaconda + pip + dlib;

(with Anaconda, do not need their own build and make source, CMake and boost here do not need, a lot of friendly operation)

1. Dlib's profile (official website: http://dlib.net/)

Dlib is a machine learning Open Source Toolkit (official website: http://dlib.net/), used in robotics, embedded devices, mobile phones and large-scale high-performance computing environment, learn from their own words, can be used to face detection and recognition;

Take a look at the Python examples on its official website to know what it might do (or see some of my previous blogs, with Dlib doing some face recognition and detection), here's the Demo on its website:

2. Installation Environment

Windows 10 64-bit operating system

anaconda:556361 Anaconda3-4.3.1-windows-x86_64.exe

Dlib:dlib-19.7.0-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl

Pip:pip-9.0.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl

2.1 Anaconda (https://www.anaconda.com/download/#windows)

Anaconda is an open source Python release that integrates many common libraries compared to native Python, and installs and uninstalls the management library much more easily;

Here choose Anaconda more important reason, use Anaconda install dlib very convenient;

Enter your website to download the Python version you need:

* Python 3.6 version

64-bit graphical Installer (537 MB) 32-bit graphical Installer (436 MB)

* Python 2.7 version

64-bit graphical Installer (523 MB) 32-bit graphical Installer (420 MB)

Anaconda Installation Steps:

Figure 1 Installation of Anaconda 1

Figure 2 Installation of Anaconda 2 (remember to tick add to system variable)

Figure 3 Installation of Anaconda 3

Figure 4 Installation of Anaconda 4

After the installation is completed in your Start menu, or the installation directory to find Anaconda promopt, is the Anaconda terminal;

Installation of 2.2 Dlib

Use the CD command first to locate the path to the Dlib WHL file, and then use PIP to install the Dlib command:

Pip Install DLIB-19.7.0-CP36-CP36M-WIN_AMD64.WHL

Display successfully installed dlib-19.7.0 after installation;

Figure 6 Installation Complete Dlib

Enter Python and enter the Python,import dlib test to see if the Dlib library is working

Figure 7 Test installation Complete Dlib

This means that the Dlib library can be used normally;

If you use the Pycharm compiler, remember to specify Project interpreter as Anaconda Python.exe in Setting instead of the native Python;

Anaconda python and native python are not a thing, and packages are not common to each other;
