I am trying to install imread to do some image analysis. I am running 2.7.9. When I type pip install imread into powershell, the program runs until it hits some pieces from Microsoft Visual C++. I have attached an image showing where the snag is. Please help. https://i.stack.imgur.com/pVzht.jpg

My advice is: save yourself a lot of trouble and just install a windows binary.

Take a look at the Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages website. Looks like imread is available there.

You are running Python 2.7 so grab the *-cp27-* matching your Python install (32 or 64 bit).
