Pycairo erron on pip installation

Question

I tried to install the Manimlib from the Pycharm's available packages, all the others components are installed, MikTex, Sox, and so on. But i have tried to install pycairo from Pycharm's packages and the pip installation, the following situation comes up:

Before that i had installed the MS Visual Studio (2019 and C++ archives) as a requerement to pycairo. How can i fix this problem? (I also tried https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ with the same problem.)

When I first tried downloading Manim, I ran into pycairo not working as well. What fixed this was making sure that I downloaded pycairo meant for Python version 3.7 (Manim currently does not support Python version 3.8), not the latest version which is for Python version 3.8.

(I can't help with the installation through Pycharm, since I don't use it, but...)

On this website: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ try downloading pycairo‑1.19.1‑cp37‑cp37m‑win_amd64.whl

Notice how the file name has cp37 which means it's meant for Python Version 3.7. Hope this helps!

EDIT: Also make sure that you are using Python version 3.7

Since i posted my question i tried to install manim on linux (ubuntu 20.04), i did it, but while i was installing i had make a mistake, i alloced only 20GB, all libraries are installed, but for now i have less than 4GB. Thanks for the answer! — Duca, Jul 04 '20 at 22:35
