Error installing semantra.

It seems that this is not a code error. You may need to install Microsoft's development kit first. The error message indicates that Microsoft Visual C++ needs to be installed beforehand.

The following image shows the package I installed, and Latest package.

Can anyone confirm that Semantra is installable on Windows? I don't have a Windows machine so it's hard for me to validate that it's just a build error.

thanks！

I experienced the same install error. Have you fixed it? how can it be fixed?

[lhtiger]

I installed the ubuntu virtual machine on my own machine and it was successful.

Solved it on mac by running: xcode-select --install

Closing this issue for now since it appears to be unrelated to Semantra itself. If we get enough common installation issues and how to fix them, I can put together a troubleshooting guide. Many thanks!

I faced some errors when trying to install on windows subsystem on linux but installing gcc and g++ resolved those issues:

I get the same error attempting to install on Windows in PowerShell, i.e. Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. However, the Visual C++ package is already installed.

I'm happy to run it in WSL, but perhaps lack of compatibility with Windows per se should be flagged in the README.
