Lesson 4: Unable to install web3 despite having Visual C++, Win10 (SOLVED)

[Verde888]

Hi,
I'm having a problem installing the web3.py. After typing pip install web3 at some point I get the following error. It says:
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

It appears when trying to install cytoolz.
Same error appears when I try to install it separately with pip install cytoolz

I have installed the Visual C++ Redistributable 14 but it doesn't change anything.

A similar problem has been described there, too, but not solved (even people from this course have posted there):
ethereum/web3.py#2147

Thanks in advance, impossible to move forward due to this...

Hello @Verde888 as you mentioned in another post, didn't this helped?.

Anyways you would have to also install visual studio and the Python development tools, or there is a more efficient solution which is use WSL (windows subsystem for linux).

@sanspeur33 did you install visual studio and the python development tools?

[sanspeur33]

Yes. Went back to visual studio after posting installer after reading this 2x and posting my??, and selected all of the C++ build tools. rebooted and it worked, well I was able to finish the pip install web3 with some warnings. So I will proceed. Thank you for getting back so fast.
