Is there any issue with the installation method? How do I resolve this?

Have you tried to follow what is suggested in the error message? `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, Jan 24 '22 at 08:41

You are missing a compiler as your error states:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

However, even if you get that fixed, this package is not really compatible with windows, see this github issue. So you are probably better of switching to a different OS or a different package

Do you know any other package compatible with windows? Im using this for generating a parse tree for Grammar in python. – Sam Muttin Jan 25 '22 at 03:52
No, sorry. NLP is not my field of expertise. – FlyingTeller Jan 25 '22 at 08:23
