visual studio tools or dlib on OpenSesame?

mark

Hi all,

Short version: I want to use dlib on OpenSesame but can't get it to install. Ideas?

Longer version: I'm trying to run an experiment that uses the dlib facial recognition libraries. I have the necessary code working on my standard python installation and now I'm trying to incorporate it into OpenSesame. I have installed (in OpenSesame) the packages needed, except for dlib, which is a problem. It was a problem to get dlib to install on my standard python as well -- it apparently needs to use C++ tools built into visual studio. I installed those and set my environment path to the visual studio folder and then could install dlib on my standard python. However, I don't know how to do the same within OpenSesame. Is there a way to get OpenSesame to access the tools/packages that are already installed in my standard python installation?

Thanks,

Mark

Hi @mark ,

The standard OpenSesame packages are essentially an Anaconda environment. Therefore, you should be able to install dlib through the conda packaging system:

!conda install dlib -y

Hope this helps!
