What an annoying process this has become. Used to be "download this exe, install and carry on".
Didn't bother with Python 3.7 since a lot of libraries were breaking on Linux.
Downloads
Grab Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 standalone: Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (x86, x64, ARM, ARM64).
Setup
- Run vs_buildtools.exe
- Wait for it to download a bunch of files for "Visual Studio Installer"
- Click "Individual components"
- Select "Compilers, build tools, and runtimes" > "VC++ 2017 version 15.7 v14.14 latest v141 tools" (or whatever is latest)
- Select "Development activities" > "Visual C++ Build Tools core features"
- Select "Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17134.0)"
- Everything else needed will be automatically selected for you.
- Last chance to change "Installation location" at the bottom
- Go grab a coffee or tea.
All up it should take about 3.03gb in space.
Summary on the side should look something like this
