Python, PIP, Failed building wheel for line-profiler

Question

I am trying to install line profiler for ipython. I am using anaconda to use python.

Current version of python is :

Python 3.6.2 |Anaconda, Inc.| (default, Sep 19 2017, 08:03:39) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

When I tried to install the line profiler with pip this is the output I got with error.

Note: I am running anaconda with python.

C:\Users\dsandhu>pip install line_profiler

Vote to reopen. None of the linked answers include the use of the Conda repository (the most upvoted answer here), which was the best solution for this particular problem for me — Hobo, Mar 08 '20 at 03:35

You should install via the Conda repository.

conda install -c anaconda line_profiler

the error is pretty clear:

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 assume you don't have Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools installed.
