Getting an error installing

[bkenne]

I am getting an error message when attempting to install. Is there any advice you can offer? I am installing to Python 3.12.6.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

Looking forward to your guidance.

As the error says:

error: Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 or greater is required. Get it with "Microsoft C++ Build Tools": https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/

So do you have the Microsoft compiler environment installed and is it available within the user terminal environment for the user that you tried to do the build from?

If you believe it is, then try running command as:

pip install --no-cache-dir -vvv mod_wsgi

to get more verbose logging to get a better indication of the underlying error.

Thank you so much. I will further investigate and let you know how it goes!
