error. help me

runfile('C:/build face dataset/build_face_dataset.py', wdir='C:/build face dataset')
usage: build_face_dataset.py [-h] -c CASCADE -o OUTPUT
build_face_dataset.py: error: the following arguments are required: -c/--cascade, -o/--output
An exception has occurred, use %tb to see the full traceback.

try following steps
1)open powershell inside your project
2) copy this command and enter "python build_face_dataset.py --cascade haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml --output dataset/adrian "

python build_face_dataset.py --cascade haarcascade_frontalface_default.xml --output dataset/abhishek

python + your python file name + haarcascade xml file + output keyword + file where u want to save the code

nd possibly keep the output folder in same folder as the code

hope it helps!!
