[BUG] Won't install

[thistleknot]

Describe the bug
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/
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

(JupyterLab) C:\Users\User\Documents\wiki\wiki\dev\python\Python-Stock\code\Screener>pip install --upgrade wheel
Requirement already satisfied: wheel in c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\jupyterlab\lib\site-packages (0.37.1)

Note: Tried to install Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 via two files BuildTools_MSBuild.msi and BuildTools_MSBuild.exe. The msi I found, but could not get to work properly. When I installed the .exe, v14 installs, but still would throw the same error when I tried to pip install.

Minimum working example
pip install k-means_constrained

Versions:

• Python: 3.10.5
• Operating system: [Windows/MacOS/Linux] Win10
• k-means-constrained:
• numpy:
• scipy:
• ortools:
• joblib:
• cython (if installed):

I had the same issue. I followed the first answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64261546/how-to-solve-error-microsoft-visual-c-14-0-or-greater-is-required-when-inst

Go to this link and download Microsoft C++ Build Tools:
https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/
Select: Workloads → Desktop development with C++
Then for Individual Components, select only:
*Windows 10 SDK
*C++ x64/x86 build tools

I restarted the computer afterwards, and now it works!
