Can't install beem due to Scrypt installation error (Windows): 'openssl/aes.h': No such file or directory

[CryptoSharon]

I was trying to do pip install beem in order to run your steemmonsters app, but beem depends on Scrypt, and Scrypt doesn't seem to be able to run on Windows. I tried to install the OpenSSL package that it requires, but I failed. I don't exactly know what else it needs. I installed this and added it to my path.

The following is the error that I got.

    crypto_aes.c
    scrypt-1.2.1/libcperciva/crypto/crypto_aes.c(6): fatal error C1083: No se puede abrir el archivo incluir: 'openssl/aes.h': No such file or directory

The easiest solution is to install anaconda and do a

conda install beem

OMG it's 631 MB on Conda just to install Beem. I'll do it but wow!

I'll try the Miniconda installer. (53mb) .. It extracts into 250 MB. Less, but still massive!

edit: I'm getting this error:

Solving environment: ...working... failed

To search for alternate channels that may provide the conda package you're
looking for, navigate to

    https://anaconda.org

and use the search bar at the top of the page.

edit2: Used Conda search bar and found that it is indeed in Conda, but you need to do conda install -c conda-forge beem instead.

However, I got the following error. I'm going to try with admin cmd:

ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(502): An error occurred while uninstalling package 'defaults::conda-4.5.11-py37_0'.

Alright, that works. Installed Miniconda, opened admin console and conda-installed beem, then with the same admin console I did python setup install steemmonsters and it didn't throw errors. I'm stuck at Steemmonsters now and can't run it but that's another issue. Beem is done.
