Can't install dlib in Pycharm (help)

I've been trying to work on a face recognition project, but when I try to install dlib in pycharm I get this error.

try pip install dlib --no-cache-dir if that doesn't work downgrade to python version 3.8.
I tried installing it on version 3.8 and it work fine.

Installed Pycharm
Windows 10
Python 3.8.3 (with pipenv, but should work with pip also)
ex: pipenv install (as virtual env)
since "pipenv install dlib" was giving installation errors after struggling for sometime, able to install the latest dlib library (dlib==19.20.0)
Below is the procedure which helped me to succeed in installing the latest dlib - we have to Manually compile the dlib for Python
Install visual studio (I installed Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.6.3)
Make Sure to select Visual C++ Or C++ environment - complete the installation - Nothing else is needed (In Visual Studio 2019 go to the Individual Components tab, Visual C++ Tools for Cmake, and check the checkbox under the "Compilers, build tools and runtimes" section.)
Goto - https://cmake.org/download/ and download the cmake for 64bit (cmake-3.18.0-rc4-win64-x64.msi is what i installed)
When installing, make sure to add CMake to the system path (once installation is complete -> check that Environment variable to see this is present)
Goto https://pypi.org/project/dlib/ -> Click on "Download Files"
dlib-19.20.0.tar.gz (is what i had as latest) -> Download the same
extract the file "dlib-19.20.0.tar.gz" till you see the files (dlib, dlib.egg-info, python_examples, tools, MANIFEST.in, PKG-INFO, README.md setup.cfg, setup.py)
Copy all these files (select all (ctrl+a)and copy(ctrl+c)) -> Make sure to copy only these files and not its parent directory along
Goto site-packages in python installation (C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages)
Paste all the files copied in step 7,8
open command prompt and goto -> C:\Users\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages
execute command -> python setup.py install
Thats all you should be done - it might take 5 - 10 mins to complete the process, you should see something like below in the end Installed c:\users\appdata\local\programs\python\python38\lib\site-packages\dlib-19.20.0-py3.8-win-amd64.egg Processing dependencies for dlib==19.20.0 Finished processing dependencies for dlib==19.20.0

Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?

From your error logs, you're using Python 3.9. The current Pygame release, 1.9.6 doesn't support Python 3.9. You have several options:
Install and use Python 3.8, then pip install pygame should work.
Install the Pygame 2 development version, pip install pygame==2.0.0.dev14, or pip install pygame --pre to obtain the latest pre-release version.
Try a third party pygame wheel from Christoph Gohlke, he offers pygame 1.9.6 linked against cpython39.

Does anybody know how to fix it, I don't even know what it means!! thanks so much!

Following this, you should be able to solve it by just:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
Months ago I encountered the same problem, and I "solved" by using virtual environments, which can be created using
python -m venv {NAME OF ENVIRONMENT}
The virtual env will act like a new python installation - so installing it again should also solve your problem.
Good luck! Anything we are here.

Can anyone please help me? It seems like it happens when it tries to install the package diskcache

I fixed it, the problem was with installing the diskcache module,
By default it tried to install a python 3 version supported version
when I manually installed it pip install diskcache==4.1.0
and then installed cantools again it worked.
