Question:
I am using python 3.9.9
pip 21.3.1
I am trying to install face_recognition
so I installed CMake
then when I tried to install dlib using command pip install dlib I got the following

Though I have tried many solution but none of them solved my problem
Answers:
Fortunately, I solved the problem. These are the steps to download face_recognition Library:
1- install python:
in the command prompt write python and click Enter, this will open
Microsoft store for you, "click download" or "install" to download and
install python. "to check if it is downloaded or not type python in the
command prompt
2- install pip if you do not have it:
go to: https://pypi.org/project/pip-download/
click download files. Now open the downloaded file, then click right click
with the mouse and choose "open in windows terminal". now type the command
python get-pip.py. now your pip should be installed, type pip in the
terminal to check if it is installed
3-Install Visual Studio tools For C++
go to: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/ and download the community
version of VS. after downloading install it and choose the following
options in the installation page:
image1 image2
and choose install
4- installing cmake
Enter the command pip install cmake and wait fo it to be installed.
5- Add cmake to the Path variable
follow the instructions in the following link to know how to add
something to your Path variable:
https://helpdeskgeek.com/windows-10/add-windows-path-environment-variable/
6- Install dlib
write the following command in the command prompt: pip install dlib
7- install face_recognition
write the following command in the command prompt: pip install face_recognition
8- start your project in PyCharm
click File click Sittings in the search type "interpreter" choose
"python interpreter" choose "show all" click the "+" sign choose
system Interpreter choose the interpreter that its path starts with
the "users" directory
That is the solution I used to fix my problem
After doing all the steps described, I still get the following error:

DEPRECATION: dlib is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

Installing collected packages: dlib
DEPRECATION: dlib is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559
