Unable to install cwiid onto my lego ev3dev robot

[DigitalRookie4]

I have tried installing cwiid onto my computer and by using sudo apt-get install python-cwiid. which appears to come from debian I installed it on my computer's debian terminal that I downloaded. It successfully downloaded it but when I put import cwiid into python 3 on my computer it gave off the error No module named 'cwiid'. Then I tried using pip install cwiid on my command prompt and this MASSIVE error came up: (sorry about the format it is due to the ->""" <- . I think they sort of glitched by what format github thinks three speech marks is)

BTW I believe this wont work on Windows at least without patching (see https://github.com/abstrakraft/cwiid/issues/20#issuecomment-26688733 )

Follow the errors: error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Indicates you need to install that version of c++ Windows is extremely picky on how you install c++ install versions so have fun with that. Just keep working through the errors and fix each error that comes up until you run out of errors that can popup.
