pip won't install channels_redis

for working with Django channels I need to install "channels_redis". while installing "channels_redis" I face this error, any thought?

by the way, I'm on windows and it showed me an error of C++ first and after installing Microsoft visual studio build tools vanished, and now this.

  • This happens because there is some problem with your build tools. Therefore,

    1. If your build tools further not answering to your problem, try to install build tools manually through this link.

    2. After that, you have to restart your PC or laptop.
