Was trying to install galsim to read fits files and it is showing me an error when it is getting requirements to build wheel. The following is what the terminal says:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think from that log you are on a Windows machine? GalSim supports Linux and Mac, not Windows. (See https://github.com/GalSim-developers/GalSim/blob/releases/2.4/INSTALL.rst)

Thank you @rmandelb, I was wondering if a virtual machine linux can be used?

Another user reported last year that GalSim seems to work in a Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL): https://github.com/GalSim-developers/GalSim/issues/1168#issuecomment-1339143148 Seems worth a try.
