I have been attempting to install a Python package by the name of 'pyLDAvis' from cmd with no success since over a day now! I ran the following command from cmd -
pip install pyldavis
I have already installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. Further, I have also performed the steps mentioned at https://stackoverflow.com/a/26513378/3228300 (Installing Win SDK 7.1, change the redistributable pkgs and create a vcvars64.bat file). Sadly, I do not know how to proceed further. I am pasting the ending snippet of code that is thrown back at me when the installation stops below -

Any suggestions helping me out of this situation are welcome. P.S. I run Python 3.4 on a Windows 7 desktop (6 GB ram).
pyldavis does not work for windows machines because sci-kit bio package is not compiled for windows binaries... it seems this will be available mid 2016.
You will need to use Linux or OSX to get pyldavis working.
