I am trying to install link grammar on windows for python using "pip install pylinkgrammar" command. I am getting an error which says "Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 required." Then I installed Visual C++ Build tools and I get the same error. Can somebody help me?

A couple of years after this is still the same complex installation process. I could not find any precompiled version that could work and after installing software after software, I will give up. Too bad, this library was looking useful. – Laurent Bouvier Mar 21 '19 at 18:08

i too am facing the same issue, after installing "Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0" and "Visual C++ Build tools", installing "pip install pylinkgrammar" throws error saying "Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0 failed with exit status 2", i think its not compatible with python version 3.

The current pylinkgrammar is for a very old version of link-grammar (version 4). It is also only for python-2.
The current version of link-grammar is 5.3.16. It includes python-3 bindings (and also the same bindings for python-2), but note that it is a different one than is used in pylinkgrammar. You can download the latest version from its project page. It is not a binary distribution, so you have to compile it. You currently need at least Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 for that. You will also need to install python-3 and Swig. See the MSVC14/README.md there.
The link-grammar development package is in GitHub. If you encounter problems in compiling the package, find bugs, or have ideas for enhancements, you can open an issue there.
For general questions about link-grammar you can use its discussion-group.
