No such file or directory: 'README.md' / 'README.rst'

Hello! I'm trying to install JEP, but keep getting error by either installing from github repository: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\jpy-master\setup.py", line 312, in long_description=_read('README.md') + '\n\n' + _read('CHANGES.md'), File "C:\jpy-master\setup.py", line 189, in _read with open(filename) as file: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.md' (though the file README.md is in the folder)

or by installing using pip Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Building a 64-bit library for a Windows system Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-i8r_cc43\jpy\setup.py", line 100, in with open('README.rst') as file: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.rst'

running on:

• Windows 10 x64:
• Python 3.6.5:
• JDK 9.0.4:

What can be done to successfully install jpy?

Could you please describe how you try to install jpy step-by-step. Note, after checking out jpy from GitHub you need to make the checked-out directory your working directory.

Thanks, it seems that the problem was that I didn't change the working directory and only used the full path to the setup.py file. However, now I have another problem:

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

though I have C++ already installed (both x64 and x86)

I've already had similar problem with other packages and the only way to solve it was to install package from wheel.

I've tried to reinstall C++, now instead of simple "no C++ installed" I get this long log of warnings and errors, resulting in installation failure. log.txt

Reinstallation of C++ with WIndows 10 and 8.1 SDKs has helped.
