Failed to build webrtcvad when installing a package

[emanuelps2708]

Hi, sorry for bothering but I had and an issue trying to install a package with pip, I don't know if maybe it's an error I'm making but I haven't been able to solve it. This is what I was trying to install and the error that appeared

This worked for me: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71581713/failed-to-installing-package-webrtcvad-in-ubuntu

Thank you for trying to help me, well I switched over to linux mint because I had a few issues with fedora and it now works perfectly, it appears that is the python version because I tried to install the same program on my brother's computer (he uses windows) and there was the same issue with the latest python version, I looked the link and it appears that solves the issues for linux, but maybe do you know by any chance how to install python-dev on windows, if not it's okay, thanks again for your help ;) @brothersw

[emanuelps2708]

I downgraded the python version on my brother's computer and it worked as well, thanks for your help again ;)
