Hello,

I'm trying install library web3. Unfortunatly the code ended with this error every time.

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

I have python 3.7.5 and windows 10 home. The MV C++ I have already installed and the version of Visual Studio is 2019 and Visual C++ Build Tools 2015.

Can somebody take me advice?
Thank you.

    Hi,

    According to the issue, as far as I'm concerned you could install the latest build tools.

    I suggest you could try to go to the link and download this:

    And then check that and download what you need there or you might found there that you just need to update Microsoft Visual C++ as stated on the error, but I also suggest to update everything there cause you might still need it on your future programs.

    Are you trying to use a Linux Python program on a Windows system? First, install WSL and do it all over again from your Linux prompt.

    FIXED - I use python version 3.11x and was unable to install libraries like matplotlib. Here are the steps to fix this:

    1. Install the 'Desktop Development with C++' components using Visual Studio Build tool.
    2. Locate the directory where MSBuild is installed (typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\20xx\BuildTools\MSBuild\Current\Bin") and add it to the PATH variable.
    3. Install cmake (pip install cmake) if not already installed.
      RESTART you computer.

    The error should be fixed now.
