If anybody knows please help me .

In Pycharm click on File => Settings => Expand Project: YourProject, click on Python Interpreter. This should show all packages that are installed for this project (such as cv2, numpy, face-recognition, face_recognition_models, etc.). If you don't see them, click on the + symbol in the upper left corner of the Python Packages tool window and add all the packages you need for your project. If the packages are all there and you are still getting the error, try installing the package "setuptools" in addition to the other packages. This is what worked for me.

Edit 15/05/2024:
I got it now, make sure have installed cmake via pip, or check if the env var is set right...

I had the same issue.
First, I tried to install the face_recognition_models, but it was already installed.
Then I fixed accessing the face_recognition lib which imports the models:
.venv\Lib\site-packages\face_recognition\api.py

I printed the Exception to see the real error:

try:
    import face_recognition_models
except Exception as e:
    print(e)
    print("Please install `face_recognition_models` with this command before using `face_recognition`:\n")
    print("pip install git+https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition_models")
    quit()

Here is the error message:

No module named 'pkg_resources'
Please install `face_recognition_models` with this command before using `face_recognition`:

pip install git+https://github.com/ageitgey/face_recognition_models

In the end, I just updated the setuptools and it worked for me:
pip install --upgrade setuptools
