Using dlib from Python

- Go to the base folder of the dlib repository and run python setup.py install. - Once that command finishes running - you are ready to use dlib from Python. Note that you need to - have CMake and a working C++ compiler installed for this to - work.

+ Either run pip install dlib --verbose or grab the latest sources + from github, go to the base folder of the dlib repository, + and run python setup.py install. Once either of these commands + finishes running you are ready to use dlib from Python. Note + that you need to have CMake and a working C++ compiler + installed for this to work. +

Also note that various optional features like GUI support (e.g. - dlib.image_window) and CUDA acceleration will be automatically enabled or - disabled based on what is available on your computer. When you run - the install command it will print messages telling you what it is - using. Read those messages and take appropriate action if you - don't like the results. For example, Linux and OSX users may have - to install libX11 to use the GUI tools. If you care about this - then read the messages since they tell you how to get these - optional features installed. +
