Can't install python Misaka

Question

I've been trying to install Misaka for python 3.7 and also I am using windows 10 pro but there is an error which is weird because I already have c++ 14 installed here is the error after I type:

pip install misaka

In the windows command line:

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

Also I tried installing misaka from the actual files using the command: python setup.exe install got the same error

I couldn't find anything on the internet that solves my problem.

Are you sure you have *Visual C++ 14* and not *Visual C++ Redistributable*? — phd, Dec 28 '18 at 15:57
Did you attempt to run "pip install misaka" from Visual Studio command prompt? — VirtualVDX, Dec 29 '18 at 09:14

I could solve my problem by installing Anaconda first and then installing the c++ Compiler for python with this command:

conda install libpython m2w64-toolchain -c msys2

I also had to upgrade my pip installer which I was using version 10, and I upgraded pip with this command:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

and when I attempted to install misaka library:

pip install misaka

i got the message that it was already installed

I believe you are using 32 bit Python in a 64-bit OS with reference to lib.win32-3.6.

I suggest you uninstall 32-bit Python and install a 64-bit python version and try again.

Only working solution I found for windows,

Go to Visual Studio download page as mentioned in the error, download the installer for the latest version, run the installer,

if you already installed visual studio then click modify, make sure to select the required packages, especially 'windows 10 sdk' as in the image [Around 1.2gb download and 4.2gb disk space needed in first install].

Then run pip install misaka, to successfully build the package.

If Anaconda distribution is installed in your system, you can try running

conda install libpython m2w64-toolchain -c msys2

But it won't work for all windows-python version combinations.Any time, building the package requires visual c++.
