Can someone please help me? I'm not sure what I am doing.

Question

I am trying to install dlib but it won't install. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Please someone help.

Answer 1

On command prompt it says building wheel fail. But on anaconda it says there is a conflict but is struggling to fix the issue and I don't know what to do.

Answer 2

Conflict means that some packages cannot be installed together, so you probably have to remove the package it conflicts with, or try to find a more specific solution on stackoverflow

Answer 3

The error message should have exactly what packages conflict, it's not just some random lines that you can skip, why don't you share it here ?

Answer 4

Keep breathin,breathin

Answer 5

Well the error this time seems to be: NMake makesfiles doe not support platform specifications, but platform x64 was specified
Write this exact sentence in a search engine like google, and then you'll find a stackoverflow website, try to solve it using one of the methods there.

Solving an error is something you should get used it, because you're going to do it a lot, so try to read the error, just what stands out of course, and then look for solutions online

Answer 6

How do I know what packages it conflicts with and how do I move them?

Answer 7

Error code is not complete, delete your last post and share the other half of the error

Answer 8

It says you have to install cmake first, try running:
pip3 install cmake

And then retry the installation

Answer 9

This is what I got after installing cmake then retrying dlib

Answer 10

On lines 31-37 of the code that you posted you will find: "Generator NMake Makefiles does not support platform specification, but platform x64 was specifiedʻ. Maybe the problem is there.
