    Please format that output properly, it's difficult to read. Are you using virtual environments? – AMC Dec 10 '19 at 05:38

    Does this answer your question? [Using libarchive in python on Windows](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37165002/using-libarchive-in-python-on-windows) – phd Dec 10 '19 at 08:42
  • @AlexanderCécile Thanks for suggestion, i have formatted the error. I did not use virtual environment. I tried to "pip install libarchive" in git bash. – Jyothsna jyo Dec 11 '19 at 05:03
  • @Jyothsnajyo Is git involved in this? – AMC Dec 11 '19 at 05:54
  • @AlexanderCécile no, i used git bash terminal, libarchive installation failed in windows terminal as well – Jyothsna jyo Dec 11 '19 at 13:35
  • A question on a similar question suggest that conda might be less prone to this kind of issue on Windows. Could you try using Conda, at least just to test the installation of this particular library? – AMC Dec 11 '19 at 22:51
  • @AlexanderCécile It is showing the same error in anaconda prompt too. I think this a linux package as it worked on linux os but not in windows. can you suggest me any alternative package for libarchive for windows please? – Jyothsna jyo Dec 17 '19 at 06:33
  • I have exactly the same problem but can't find the answer yet. – Ihor B. Dec 23 '19 at 08:58
