Installing dlib on Google Cloud Run using Docker

This guide will walk you through the steps to deploy a Python application with dlib dependencies on Google Cloud Run using a Docker container.

Installation

To set up the necessary environment and dependencies for this application, follow these steps:

Step 1: Upgrade pip and setuptools

RUN pip install --upgrade pip setuptools

Step 2: Install CMake

RUN pip install cmake

CMake is a crucial tool for building software projects. In this step, we install a CMake using pip.

Step 3: Install System Dependencies

RUN apt-get clean && apt-get -y update && apt-get install -y build-essential cmake libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev libopenblas-dev liblapack-dev

This command cleans the package cache, updates the package lists, and installs essential system dependencies including build-essential, cmake, libopenblas-dev, and liblapack-dev. These dependencies are required for building certain Python packages like dlib.

Step 4: Install dlib

RUN pip install dlib

dlib is a library that provides machine learning algorithms and tools for computer vision applications. We install dlibusing pip.
