Can't install Noise module

I was trying to install the Noise module (https://pypi.org/project/noise/) with PIP, but it showed me this...

The problem is that I already have Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 installed, I don't know how to process... Can someone help me please? ;-;

Installing python libs that require c++ compilation on windows can be a pain. Fortunately, the community has a very helpful contributor from the University of California, Irvine, Chris Gohlke that hosts a number of pre-compiled wheels for windows. And lucky for us, noise is one of those pre-compiled wheels. Go to the link and download the appropriate wheel for you version of python and your computer OS (64-bit or 32-bit). Once you download the file, you can then install the wheel using:

    pip install c:\path\to\downloaded\wheel

Thank you so much, but surprisingly I needed the 3.7 version instead of the 3.6 to work, is that normal? – Zapdexio Nov 19 '18 at 06:48
@Zapdexio: not in my experience (at least not unless you are using version python 3.7). – 2ps Nov 20 '18 at 22:23

Mac user, it's important to get the Clang installed on your system to compile the noise package. due to latest update on back, if the clang installed in not recognized, run the below commands on the mac terminal.

xcode-select --install

Check if below command working, if not you need to first install the clang to let OS to install the noise package.

clang --version.

if that is working,

pip install noise
