How to solve pycocotools installation error

Question

I have a problem installing a dependency for the layoutpharser library in python. This dependency is pycocotools.

So I tried following the instructions given by the GitHub page, which I link at the end, which said to install this dependency with the command:

pip install git+https://github.com/philferriere/cocoapi.git#subdirectory=PythonAPI

But this is the error given:

Continuing in the documentation it says:

• On Windows, you must have the Visual C++ 2015 build tools on your path. If you don't, make sure to install them:

• Then, run visualcppbuildtools_full.exe and select default options:

I then installed Visual C++ 2015 but I don't understand how to put it in the windows environment variables as I don't understand what directory it is in.

So I would like to ask what the corresponding directory path is or if you know of another way to install pycocotools
