cannot install scikit-bio in my window 7 with anaconda 3.x (64-bit)

Question

I used the following code to install scikit-bio from Spyder 3, but it showed error. Therefore, could anyone please help? many thanks

Code: import pip pip.main (['install', 'scikit-bio'])

Error: Command "C:\Users\vanna\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\pythonw.exe -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='C:\Users\vanna\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-_nvm7kff\scikit-bio\setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record C:\Users\vanna\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-cpfgc63d-record\install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\vanna\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-_nvm7kff\scikit-bio\

Answer 1

I had a similar error message during pip installation on CPython (Win 10 x64). Upgrading setuptools

pip install setuptools --upgrade

and installing build tools for most recent Visual Studio resolved the issue. Just like here. Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 is required (Unable to find vcvarsall.bat)
