Why does the ComfyUI_FaceAnalysis node suite fail to import?

The Face Analysis node suite depends on a library called DLib. If you have installed ComfyUI on Windows, the installation process might fail to compile the library for your version of Python.

To try and fix this problem, follow these steps:

  1. Download a precompiled wheel of DLib for your version of Python from this website and place it inside your ComfyUI venv environment in this location:

    \ComfyUI\venv\Lib\site-packages\

    For example, if your version of Python is 3.12, download and place the correct wheel here:

    \ComfyUI\venv\Lib\site-packages\dlib-19.24.99-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl
  2. From the ComfyUI folder, activate your venv with the following command:

    source venv/bin/activate
  3. Install the wheel you just downloaded with the following command:

    python -m pip install dlib-19.24.99-cp312-cp312-win_amd64.whl
