I am trying to install the pymssql module in the Command Prompt for VS 2017 Command line and when I type
pip install pymssql
I get this error
cl: error: no such option: -I
Here is the more defined error code:
cl: error: no such option: -I error: command 'C:\Users\blake\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\Scripts\cl.exe' failed with exit status 2
On Windows, please follow the instructions on
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/connect/python/pymssql/step-1-configure-development-environment-for-pymssql-python-development?view=sql-server-2017
i. e.: Download the wheel-file, place it in the same folder where the python.exe is, move to that folder and run
pip install pymssql-2.1.3-cp36-cp36m-win_amd64.whl
