  [end of output]
  
  note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
  ERROR: Failed building wheel for pycocotools
ERROR: Could not build wheels for pycocotools, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

EVEN THOUHGH I INSTALLED VC++_2015 BUT AGAIN THE SAME ERROR IS COMING

  • Do you run the pip - command from a Visual Studio command prompt? This might solve your problem. – jackdaimond Apr 03 '22 at 18:33
  • No can you please tell me how should i do that – anvi_avenger Apr 05 '22 at 01:07
  • You go to the windows - menu (or start - menu in former windows versions) and you look for the folder of your Visual Studio Installation. There you will find the "Developer Command Prompt of Visual Studio " Open that and retry what you did before. Please excuse the very late answer. – jackdaimond Jun 19 '22 at 13:44
  • You should install Visual Studio Build Tools from the following link https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/ which is different product from Visual Studio C++ – stonito Feb 28 '23 at 14:58
