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. Aft

Answer 1

I got this error when I tried to install pymssql even though Visual C++ 2015 (14.0) is installed in my system.

I resolved this error by downloading the .whl file of pymssql from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/

Once downloaded, it can be installed by the following command :

pip install python_package.whl

Hope this helps
