I get the following error when I type

pip install salt

in my console. ERROR:

I also get this warning at the end:

I am using python 3.9.1. Where am I going wrong?

  • Does this answer your question? [Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29846087/microsoft-visual-c-14-0-is-required-unable-to-find-vcvarsall-bat) – FlyingTeller Feb 23 '21 at 13:53
  • What the error says, you are missing visual build tools (i.e. a compiler):Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools: https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools – FlyingTeller Feb 23 '21 at 17:37
  • Thank you for your help. –  Feb 23 '21 at 19:09
  • I installed it and also something called Cython that was missing. However now when I try to install it says: " Please specify --curl-dir=/path/to/built/libcurl " when it crashes. Do you might know how to fix this? –  Feb 23 '21 at 19:38
