Error with dlib and face_recognition library

Question

I am getting an error while importing the face_recognition library. I have tried using a Virtual Environment too. Please help.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files\Python38\lib\site-packages\face_recognition-1.3.0-py3.8.egg\face_recognition\__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from .api import load_image_file, face_locations, batch_face_locations, face_landmarks, face_encodings, compare_faces, face_distance
  File "C:\Program Files\Python38\lib\site-packages\face_recognition-1.3.0-py3.8.egg\face_recognition\api.py", line 17, in <module>
    face_detector = dlib.get_frontal_face_detector()
AttributeError: module 'dlib' has no attribute 'get_frontal_face_detector'

You need to download the face database shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks , you need to download it and unzip it and put it in the folder where your code is located
