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/

SOLUTION:

In case you encounter the error I mentioned in the title while running the pip install -e. from the pre requisites, then you will have to download the Visual Studio Build Tools (link in the title).

In the following link you just follow the instructions from the first answer on what to download in the installer (should be around 6GB):

for Individual Components, select only: Windows 10 SDK C++ x64/x86 build tools

After you installed the package just run the pip install -e. again and it should work.
