I am not able to install dlib on my computer. It gives me this error, but no other posts have helped me. I have been searching for a few hours now but to no avail. I am not familiar with the pip command, so this error does not tell me any meaningful information. Can someone who is more experienced please tell me why this is not working? I have already tried reinstalling Microsoft Visual Studio C++ 2015, but that did not work. Installing CMake did not work either. Can someone please help me fix this?
