pip install zipline fails on Windows 10

I can't install zipline on Windows 10 with Python 3.6. I tried it with Pycharm and the terminal, both fail with this error message:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:...\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-build-x6gaykzm\zipline\

I have also tried pip3 install --upgrade setuptools, pip install ez_setup and pip install ez_setup like suggested here and here

I have also installed numpy 1.13.0 + mkl

Can anybody help on this topic? Many thanks in advance!

Solution

  • After installing Visual Studio C++ Build Tools and restarting the computer I could install zipline. I don't know which of the facts causes it.
