Trouble installing OSQP package

Question

I'm trying to install the CVXPY package, which has OSQP as a dependency, but I'm failing miserably at installing it. This is the log:

WARNING: You are using pip version 19.2.3, however version 19.3.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

It seems it is a problem with the MSBuildTools. I've installed the build tools as instructed on the CVXPY-webpage: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4GsMXCRaSSIOWpYQkstajlYZ0tPVkNQSElmTWh1dXFaYkJr/view

That didn't work. Then I found this question (Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Microsoft Visual C++ Build Tools": http://landinghub.visualst udio.com/visual-cpp-build-tools) and modified the build tools installation accordingly but it still doesn't work. I don't have the python developement under Web & cloud as in the screenshot, but this should be optional anyway.

Could you please help me?

P.S.: Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden roughly translates to The system can't find the specified file

EDIT: Here's the build tools installation, just in case:

If you downgrade to Python 3.7 you have a chance to install [a precompiled wheel](https://pypi.org/project/osqp/0.6.1/#files). You can also try these with Python 3.8: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#cvxpy and https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#osqp — phd, Nov 19 '19 at 18:41

I was facing the same issue. From the link https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#osqp (posted by phd), downloaded the corresponding version of osqp and install it using (for instance):

pip install osqp-0.6.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl

Then, you should be able to simply install cvxpy using

pip install cvxpy

I am one of the developers. OSQP pip wheels for python 3.8 are online now. It should fix your problem.
