Trying to deploy face_recognition app- error such as dlib installation failed

[KIRAN_KALLA]

I have successfully installed face_recognition app in my system. It is working perfectly. But when I am trying to deploy the same using share.streamlit , it shows dlib installation failed. My requirments.txt file is as follows

• numpy
• Pillow
• cmake
• opencv-python-headless
• dlib-bin
• streamlit
• face_recognition

Please resolve issue, Thank you

Hi @KIRAN_KALLA,

Sharing what @snehankekre posted on this thread:

I’m not sure how best to phrase this, but as I understand it, it is impossible to install the face-recognition library on Streamlit Community Cloud.

Why? The installation of face-recognition requires dlib to be compiled. When dlib is being compiled, the compiler runs out of RAM and gets OOM-killed. The default 1GB of RAM is insufficient to build the dlib dependency for the face_recognition Python package.

I’ve been unsuccessful in getting face_recognition installed on Cloud via all methods Pipenv, requirements.txt, environment.yml, and pyproject.toml. Happy to be proven wrong though

Error in Installing the face-recognition facing errors

Hey there, just make a fork of face_recognition and change dlib requiment in setup.py to → dlib-bin Then go ahead and tell streamlit to use your fork in your requirements.txt like this face_recognition @ git+https://github.com/thetoby9944/face_recognition This will make sure face_recognition is using the precompiled dlib library instead of trying to compile itself. That way the face_recognition is working for me on streamlit cloud. Hope i could help
