Setup.py error when installing dlib on Windows 10 [PYTHON]

Question:

Whenever I try to install dlib using pip install dlib or pip3 install dlib, I get the following error message error

I have already downloaded cmake and cv2, and I have also added cmake bin to the environment variables, I am not sure what else I could do to get this working. My main point downloading dlib is to be able to use the face_recognition library.
