Error: Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 Is Required (unable To Find Vcvarsall.bat). While Installing Scrapy On Windows 10 64-bit

I am trying to install Scrapy. I am getting this error. I know there are many questions exists on SO but none of a solution has worked for me. building 'twisted.test.raiser' ex

Solution 1:

I got this working.

Usually these require very particular versions of the Visual studios C++ compiler. In this case, following the steps listed on this page for the "Microsoft Visual C++ 10.0 standalone: Windows SDK 7.1" worked for getting twisted running (which is the package that's screwing up in this case)

If that doesn't work, you can find unofficial wheels here (learn more on wheels in general here)

Download the correct wheel (in this case, twisted) and follow these instructions to install it.

Hope this helps.
