Question

Hello,

During the installation of python library via (pip install pyprosail), I receive an error "error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/". but I have already installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015, 2017 redistributable but still, I got the error of Visual C++ in every system during the installation of this library. Please suggest the solution?

Hi Optimus_PrimeDL

This is the link to download and install the C++ Build Tools, try installing that, then restart your PC . . .

This solution worked for me:

1. Go to https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/ under Tools for Visual Studio 2019 download Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019 (~1MB download)
2. Run and under Workload select C++ Build Tools, then under Options select MSVC v142 - VS 2019 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v 14.26) & Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0) only (selects newer versions if available, +1GB download)
3. Install.

I installed C ++ Build Tools but the problem was not solved

Answer 4

That's... not really an offline installer lol. That 1.9MB installer will proceed to download 80~MB's of data from an online source.
