Anaconda is downloaded according to the Suggestions on the Internet, conda is used to download, and the virtual environment is created before downloading

conda create -n face python=3.7 #Python3.7
activate face 

Installing Opencv has reported another error… Don’t recurse…

 D:\Anaconda\envs>conda install opencv-python
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.

Actually, the name of the package under Python is OpencV-Python, and Anaconda is Opencv

conda install -c conda-forge opencv

Error reporting also occurred when installing the face_recognition library, and the solution is to use

pip install --no-dependencies face_recognition

And then I can introduce usage and write code normally.
