Installed the package according to readme.md and tried to run command, but the following error occurred:

Same here. Event pip install whisper does not solve the situation.

I see that people are using powershell, does this also fail when launching from cmd.exe?

Yes, I tried to run the command in admin cmd and the same prompt appeared as well.
