when trying to install packages such as wordcloud, I get the error message
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/. When following the link, the installer proposes many different options. Just selecting the C++ requires almost 7GB.
Could you help me choose the bare minimum options required to install wordcloud? Indeed I have a small config, and would rather avoid using so much space for a small package (and for the moment, I don't plan using Visual Studio except for that matter). Thanks!

I did as mentionned in the link: download, run the exe and click install: same message. There must be some boxes to be checked, but I don't know which ones. – Pierre Nov 10 '21 at 15:54

Have you followed the information in the instruction for setup with Python found here?
It indicates that you should update setuptools pip install --upgrade setuptools before doing anything else.
