I try to install a python package. It's fitsio. I work on Jupyter Notebook but I am a beginner.
I try pip install fitsio but I have an error like you see :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools>pip install fitsio

Using legacy 'setup.py install' for fitsio, since package 'wheel' is not installed.

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

╰─> fitsio
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for output from the failure.
To resolve my problem I try to update python -m pip install –upgrade pip & pip install –upgrade wheel & pip install –upgrade setuptools.
Moreover I download Microsoft c++ build tools.
I install successfully cfitsio with Anaconda but when I write import cfitsio Jupyter notebook does not recognize the package.
Thanks for reading.
I counteracted the issue by using conda instead.
conda install fitsio
Since conda uses a pre-compiled version, it should in theory be fine.
If conda fails to find fitsio, add the conda-forge channel by
conda config --append channels conda-forge
and then proceeding with the installation. Hope this helps!
