Pip error Microsoft Visual C 14 0 is required

Question

I just ran the following command  pip install -U steem  and the installation worked well until it failed to install pycrypto  Afterwards I did the pip install cryptography  command because I thought it was the missing package  So my question is  how I can install steem without the pycrypto-error  or the pycrypto-package in addition  and how to uninstall the cryptography-Package which I don t need   I m using Windows 7 and Python 3  Requirement already up-to-date  python-dateutil in c  users     appdata lo cal programs python python36 lib site-packages  from dateparser- gt maya- gt steem      Installing collected packages  urllib3  idna  chardet  certifi  requests  pycryp to  funcy  w3lib  voluptuous  diff-match-patch  scrypt  prettytable  appdirs  la ngdetect  ruamel yaml  humanize  tzlocal  regex  dateparser  pytzdata  pendulum  maya  ecdsa  pylibscrypt  ujson  toolz  steem Running setup py install for pycrypto     error Complete output from command c  users     appdata local programs pytho n python36 python exe -u -c  quot import setuptools  tokenize   file    C   Users       1  AppData  Local  Temp  pip-build-k6flhu5k  pycrypto  setup py  f getattr  tokenize   open   open    file    code f read   replace   r n     n   f close    exec compile code    file     exec    quot  install --record C  Users    N 1 AppDat a Local Temp pip-igpkll6u-record install-record txt --single-version-externally- managed --compile  running install running build running build py     building  Crypto Random OSRNG winrandom  extension error  Microsoft Visual C   14 0 is required  Get it with  quot Microsoft Visual C   Build Tools quot   http   landinghub visualstudio com visual-cpp-build-tools  ---------------------------------------- Command  quot c  users     appdata local programs python python36 python exe -u -c  quot import setuptools  tokenize   file    C   Users     N 1  AppData  Local   Temp  pip-build-k6flhu5k  pycrypto  setup py  f getattr tokenize   open   open     file    code f read   replace   r n     n   f close   exec compile code      fil e     exec    quot  install --record C  Users    N 1 AppData Local Temp pip-igpkll6 u-record install-record txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile quot    faile d with error code 1 in C  Users    N 1 AppData Local Temp pip-build-    k6flhu5k p ycrypto

On Windows  I strongly recommand installing latest Visual Stuido Community  it s free  you will maybe miss some build tools if you only install vc redist  so you can easily install package by pip instead of wheel  it save lot of time

If you already have Visual Studio Build Tools installed but you re still getting that error  then you may need to  Modify  your installation to include the Visual C   build tools   To do that    Open up the Visual Studio Installer  you can search for it in the Start Menu if needed   Find Visual Studio Build Tools and click  Modify        Add a checkmark to Visual C   build tools and then click  Modify  in the bottom right to install them      After the C   tools finish installing  run the pip command again and it should work

I faced the same problem  Found the fix here  Basically just install this  shasum output  3e0de8af516c15547602977db939d8c2e44fcc0b  visualcppbuildtools full exe  md5sum output  MD5  visualcppbuildtools full exe    8d4afd3b226babecaa4effb10d69eb2e  Run your pip installation command again  If everything works fine  its good  Or you might face the following error like me  Finished generating code     LINK   fatal error LNK1158  cannot run  rc exe      error  command  C   Program Files  x86   Microsoft Visual Studio 14 0  VC  BIN  x86 amd64  link exe  failed with exit status 1158  Found the fix for the above problem here  Visual Studio can  39 t build due to rc exe That basically says Add this to your PATH environment variables   C  Program Files  x86  Windows Kits 8 1 bin x86  Copy these files   rc exe rcdll dll  From  C  Program Files  x86  Windows Kits 8 1 bin x86  To  C  Program Files  x86  Microsoft Visual Studio 11 0 VC bin  It works like a charm

As an alternative to installing Visual C    there is a way by installing an additional package in Conda  this option doesn t require admin rights   This worked for me  conda install libpython m2w64-toolchain -c msys2

You need to install Microsoft Visual C   14 0 to install pycrypto   error  Microsoft Visual C   14 0 is required  Get it with  Microsoft Visual C   Build Tools   http   landinghub visualstudio com visual-cpp-build-tools   In the comments you ask which link to use  Use the link to Visual C   2015 Build Tools  That will install Visual C   14 0 without installing Visual Studio   In the comments you ask about methods of installing pycrypto that do not require installing a compiler  The binaries in the links appear to be for earlier versions of Python than you are using  One link is to a binary in a DropBox account   I do not recommend downloading binary versions of cryptography libraries provided by third parties  The only way to guarantee that you are getting a version of pycrypto that is compatible with your version of Python and has not been built with any backdoors is to build it from the source   After you have installed Visual C    just re-run the original command   pip install -U steem   To find out what the various install options mean  run this command   pip help install   The help for the -U option says  -U  --upgrade        Upgrade all specified packages to the newest available                      version  The handling of dependencies depends on the                      upgrade-strategy used    If you do not already have the steem library installed  you can run the command without the -U option

I landed on this question after searching for  Microsoft Visual C   14 0 is required  Get it with  Microsoft Visual C   Build Tools   I got this error in Azure DevOps when trying to run pip install to build my own Python package from a source distribution that had C   extensions  In the end all I had to do was upgrade setuptools before calling pip install   pip install --upgrade setuptools   So the advice here about updating setuptools when installing from source archives is right after all    That advice is given here too
