pip install requirements.txt fails - is it because I'm not using Docker?

[Shahar-do]

Hello everyone.

In Short: I'm on windows 10, Python 3.7.6. I wish to know if Docker is mandatory. I am unable to install dependencies, and I'm not sure it's some local issue or simply installation can't be done without docker.

In Details: pip install -r requirements.txt fails becuase a specific package -it says Failed building wheel for python-axolotl-curve25519. When I try to only install this package - running pip install python-axolotl-curve25519. It also fails. cmd output:

You are using pip version 9.0.1, however version 20.2.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.```

I Googled this error of course and did not find any good solution.

Thanks the helpers!

I have the exact same issue

I only managed to make it work that way in linux

I install standalone Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 ... fail Then I try install Microsoft Visual C++ using Microsoft C++ Build Tools from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ It solve the problem. Install MSVC using Build Tools takes about 4GB disk space. But at least it works! :-)
