I am new to python. I am trying to set up the environment to build a picture sharing app. The setup was going well until I had to install mysqlclient which is one of the requirements according to the tutorial I was using.

The error I get in the windows Powershell is this:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualstudio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools

I already have Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 installed in my machine I even tried upgrading setup tools like suggested in another post but with no luck I have python 3.7 installed

Try this

 pip install --only-binary :all: mysqlclient

Hope it helped.
