If you have already installed this skip to 2.

Which is under All downloads ( scroll down) > Tools for Visual Studio 2017

Go to Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 and install Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017.

I figured these steps (most taken from previous solutions) allowed this to work. So I also had the common error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required when pip installing a library.Īfter looking across many web pages and the solutions to this thread, with none of them working.

I had this exact issue while trying to install mayavi. (you can also install the Visual Studio Build Tools with only these options so you dont need to install Visual Studio Community Edition itself) => This minimal install is already a 4.5GB, so saving off anything is helpful Note if you already installed Visual Studio then when you run the installer, you can modify yours (click modify button under Visual Studio Community 2017) and do steps 3 and 4įinal Note : If you don't want to install all modules, having the 3 ones below (or a newer version of the VC++ 2017) would be sufficient. Only check Python development (I believe this is optional But I have done it). Only check Desktop development with C++ī.

Select free download under Visual Studio Community 2017.

Microsoft visual c++ 14.0
