I am trying to install enaml for the latest Anaconda distribution(4.3.1). The installation guide on http://nucleic.github.io/enaml/docs/get_started/installation.html says:
The sections below describe how to install Enaml and all of its dependencies from scratch, starting with the installation of a Python runtime. The instructions assume that the user’s system has a C++ compiler and the Git command line tools installed and available on the system path.
The Easy Way
If installing and building Enaml and its dependencies from scratch is not appealing, the free (and unaffiliated) Anaconda Python distribution provides a complete Python environment which comes with a reasonably recent version of Enaml and a host of other useful packages.
If you have a working C++ compiler, you can install using pip:
$ pip install enaml
Can you please tell me the easiest way to install a C++ compiler and Git command line tools and make them available on system path?
What I tried: I tried installing Visual Studio however it turns out to be 32 bit so when pip installing enaml or atom I get the following error:
Failed building wheel for atom
fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with target machine type 'X86'
Install the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7 and run pip install enaml again. There's also a tutorial here Python GUI's with enaml that shows how to get started from scratch.
