Unable to install dlib

[av-kaiser]

When executing pip install -r requirements.txt an error appears: ERROR: dlib-19.22.99-cp39-cp39-win_amd64.whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

Installing dlib may take up some times. You can install Visual Studio (I recommend 2019) then install it on the built-in cli.

Or you can pull the image from docker for better compatibility.

In my case, I used this work around by installing the ready-to-use wheel from this source (You should check if there's an available wheel for your current setup, if none you will have to follow the above steps to build it from scratch) https://github.com/sachadee/Dlib

Hope you find this useful

Thanks! I'll try this
