MS Visual C++ 14.1 is required. But it is already installed


I am on Windows 10 using pypy3.6-v7.3.0. I am trying to install numpy with pip install numpy, but I keep getting the error:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.1 is required. Get it with "Build Tools for Visual Studio": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/`

However, I already have Visual Studio Community 2019 installed, and my C++ build tools are fully up to date.

Here is the new error I am getting after installing build tools manually:

I am no longer seeing the original error anymore, I am always getting this no matter what now. I tried using pip install numpy, pip3 install numpy, and pypy -m pip install numpy. All give this same output.


Solution

    1. If your build tools not answering to your problem, try to install build tools manually through this link.

    2. After that you have to restart your PC or laptop.

    3. Then try pip3 install numpy. In python 3.x versions we use pip3 not pip.
