Can't install textract on windows

Question

I\'ve tried lots of things but still fail when I\'m trying to install textract package on my Windows by using pip command.

I\'m getting the following error:

Answer 1

Stolen from here:

Needed to first install swig from conda (miniconda)

conda install swig

Then downloaded the EbookLib 0.15 zip from the releases

https://github.com/aerkalov/ebooklib/releases

After unzipping it, I manually removed (I used notepad++) the unicode char in the README.md file. (unicode char is on Line 44)

And then installed the module with pip.

cd to_unzipped_folder_path_here
pip install .

And finally

pip install textract
