Solved Error CMAKE must be installed to build dlib when installing face_recognition python for macOS

I was recently trying to install the python face_recognition library but kept getting an error "CMAKE must be installed to build dlib" and wasn't able to install dlib library either because of the same error. However, CMAKE was already successfully installed on my machine.

Seems like CMAKE installation path was misconfigured. After a few hours of trial and error I was able to find the solution by downloading dlib manually.

Hope this helps. Cheers!

Thank you for recording this video. I was stuck on this error since it kept saying I have both libraries, cmake and lib installed, but it was still giving errors. I even thought something is wrong with the python package and reinstalled it to give it a try.
This video helped me. Thanks again!
