I am waiting for your kind suggestions!!!!

[benfred]

See https://github.com/benfred/implicit/issues/76#issuecomment-360872999 for steps to fix. Also this seems like the problem you're having is in a different package =).

[vikash310]

Hey Dilshad!!

Such problem are basically solved by upgrading python setuptools. Try these command:

pip install -U setuptools

[widedh]

hey vikash,

I tried the command but nothing has changed.

You need to install the visual c++ build tools. The link in the error message seems like it's dead, but you can download them here: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

Note that while the error is calling for vc++ 14.0 - everything will work with newer versions of visual c++.

I was able to solve the problem doing the following:

1. Set the SLUGIFY_USES_TEXT_UNIDECODE environment variable to yes

2. Install VS Buildtools

3. Choose the following options in the Work Loads -> Visual C++ build tools -> Optional

   Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17763.0)
   Visual C++ tools for CMake
   Testing tools core features - Build Tools
   Visual C++ ATL for x86 and x64
   VC++ 2015.3 v14.00 (v140) toolset for desktop

4. Choose the following options in the Work Loads -> Visual C++ build tools -> Individual Components

   Windows Universal CRT SDK
   Windows 8.1 SDK

5. Restart the computer

6. Then as told by Iagom, we need to copy rc.exe & rcdll.dll from C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x86 to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin

7. We then need to run pip install -U setuptools

8. Now we can run the pip install apache-airflow command (I had to it in an administrator shell)

It did not solve my issue

This solved my problem. Thank you so much, have been struggling with this error for 2 days now.

Download a .whl file for your partcular python version and local machine version (https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#mysql-python) and do pip install .whl. It worked for me!

[abhishekkagautam]

Hi everyone,

Here is a simple solution to get it worked on Windows. May not be a relevant topic to discuss here but would be useful for others, I hope :)

Install Visual C++ 2015 Build Tools from https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691126 with default selection.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools and run vcbuildtools_msbuild.bat

In Anaconda, run

pip install git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#egg=pycocotools^&subdirectory=PythonAPI

GLHF.

Thanks @shravankumar9892. For those that have Chocolatey you can install with

choco install visualcppbuildtools

@PhilT

I was trying to complie for a completely different project but I can confirm that choco install visualcppbuildtools is correct.
