It's worth noting than we will only accept official links from any certified Microsoft-owned website.Īs of today there are no offline installers for VS2019 yet, hence we'll put the Web Installer link here hoping that it will be enough for you. If you want to add a new direct download link or make us aware of a broken one, write it on a comment and we'll act accordingly adding or deleting the respective URL. IMPORTANT: Let’s make it clear, this is not warez or pirate software: what we’re giving here is merely a list of links to some official Microsoft distributions offline installers public links collected from Google, StackOverflow and some MS support sites & forums.
For those who keep asking where they can download the ISO files of the older builds, we put together this far-from-complete list containing some of the most known official direct download links for the offline installers and/or ISO files, together with service packs and support files. We will use our CMakeLists.txt file instead of one which is shipped with Dlib.ĭownload modified CMakeLists.txt file and put it in dlib-19.6\examples directory and replace the default one with this one.Some weeks ago we published a rather comprehensive list of all Microsoft Visual Studio Build Numbers, Version IDs and Default Paths from VS6 to VS2017. Note: If you have an open Command Prompt/Power Shell window before these values were updated, you have to close and open a new Command Prompt/Power Shell window again. Now click ok to save and close environment variables window.Before assigning the value to variable dlib_DIR make sure that this path has file dlibConfig.cmake. This is used by CMake to configure dlib_LIBS and dlib_INCLUDE_DIRS variables to generate project files. This directory contains file “dlibConfig.cmake”. On my machine path is: D:\programming\dlib-19.6\build\install\lib\cmake\dlib Under variable name write dlib_DIR and under variable value write full path to directory dlib-19.6\build\install\lib\cmake\dlib.Click New in “User Variables” (in upper half of window).Click Environment Variables in System Properties window.Press Windows Super key, search for “environment variables”.CMake looks for a file named dlibConfig.cmake within directory dlib_DIR to find Dlib’s include and library directories. This environment variable is needed for CMake to find out where Dlib is installed.

Open Windows PowerShell or Command Prompt and move to the directory where you have extracted this file.
Step 1: Install Visual Studio 2015 Step 2: Install CMake v3.8.2 Step 3: Install Anaconda 3 Step 4: Download Dlibĭownload Dlib v19.6 from Step 5: Build Dlib libraryĮxtract this compressed file. Follow our previous post Install OpenCV3 on Windows to complete Step 1, 2 and 3. Now let’s go through the steps to install Dlib. If you intend to use Dlib only in C++ projects, you can skip Python installation part.
This tutorial is based on using Anaconda so we may not be able to help if you choose to use Gohlke’s precompiled binaries or if you compile Python libraries from source. So we will use Anaconda as our Python distribution.Īn alternative to Anaconda is that you install official Python library and use Christoph Gohlke’s awesome repository to install pre-compiled Python modules. Anaconda is a great Python distribution which comes with a lot of pre-compiled Python packages. This post is no longer updated or maintained.Ĭompiling Python modules such as NumPy, SciPy etc. Please use the official instructions to use Dlib in your project.
