error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. FIXED. (pip install web3 error)

Hey guys!
Recently, while working with web3 in Python, I was getting an error!
error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required.

I did upgrade my setup tool using: pip install --upgrade setuptools but, it did not resolve the problem.

After rebooting, try installing web3 again using "pip install web3", it should work fine.

Connect with me on:

Thank you for watching!!

It worked!!! I want to use acitoolkit library
In summary:
- Python 3.10
- pip, setuptools and wheel upgraded with the command: py -m pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
- For Microsoft C++, I followed the steps in the video
- Windows 10

I am on windows 11 and getting the same issue. The problem is that when i launch/open the installer, it runs some files(that green indicator) and then nothing comes after that. Nothing happens at all. I have tried running installer as administrator, changing compatibility to windows8/7, ran troubleshooter for the installer and even the windows update troubleshooter but nothing has worked out. I beg someone to help, please

The package shows 6gb of size, can't we just untick optional packages, and only install what is required

Installed C++ via Visual Studio and still didn't work for me..

[Naz-yibs]

my guyyyy it worked!! thank you. Quick question, I've heard people use the term, "run-time environment libraries", would it be accurate to say, "C++ build tools", are run-time environment libraries?

[yadukrishna]

At last. Referred many videos but still had no help, but tried what you said in this video and it worked. Please upload more videos like this. May god bless you.

Hello, can you fix the error failing the build for levenshtein while I am installing dataprep?

[priyankabarde]

I tried this method. But still, I am getting the same error. I also installed web3 after reboot.
Please someone help me.!

It's kinda ridiculous the only solution is to download 6+ GB of stuff, there must be a better way, but at least it worked for some.
