I just ran the "pip install -U steem"-command 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 deinstall the cryptography-Package which I don't need. (I'm using Windows 7 and Python 3)

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.
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 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
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
I faced the same problem. Found the fix here. https://github.com/statsmodels/statsmodels/issues/4160
Basically just install
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=691126&fixForIE=.exe
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'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
