I am using the below command while installing surprise package. I have got error messages while installing and I am not able to understand. I need help to install this package successfully. pip install scikit-surprise

one of the error code in the last says that Microsoft visual C++ 14 or greater is required but I have 14 version installed so the requirement should be satisfied. screen shot from control panel

(base) C:\Users\S Vishal>pip install scikit-surprise

Have you tried installing with Anaconda?

Launch your Anaconda command prompt and run:

conda install -c conda-forge scikit-surprise

I hope this sorts out your issue.

    Thanks a lot Storm, I have run the command which you told and got the below output. I tried importing the surprise package and it works now. Few of the packages are creating inconsistency. – Vishal S Jan 14 '21 at 13:45
  • @VishalS So just to check it worked for you correct? – Storm Rhoda Jan 14 '21 at 14:40

The key error is in Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. You have to download supporting build tools for C++(sometimes just downloading it from MS website wont work), if you are using visual studio 2022 for python development, you have to modify your installer and download missing build tools, I think its titled "Desktop Development with C++ (not just python developer/IDE) and check almost all tools", however it consumes bit of system space, however it sorted this problem of installing many packages in python which was not working otherwise.
