How to install dlib package in PyCharm if pip is not working?

Question

pip

Good afternoon, I've been scratching my head for several days now over the problem of adding a dlib package to PyCharm. When trying to do this, as indicated in the jetbrain manual, it gives the following error (please don't be scared)

You must use Visual Studio to build a python extension on windows. If you
are getting this error it means you have not installed Visual C++. Note
that there are many flavors of Visual Studio, like Visual Studio for C#
development. You need to install Visual Studio for C++.

By the way, I installed almost all versions of MS VC, but he just doesn't care.


Please save me, my head is already swimming...
