Cannot install pipeline-live Windows

[ghost]

I just installed pylivetrader using 3 channels (conda-forge, Quantopian, alpacahq) and conda create -n pylivetraderenv pylivetrader. The environment is pretty outdated (Python 3.5.5, Pylivetrader 0.0.20, Websockets 6.0) but it appears to work on the very basic algos. However, I just tried to pip install pipeline-live but it failed to install. The install seemed to go pretty far but the error came right at the end. I'll paste the error below. Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
it looks like you need the visual studio build tools (https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/visual-cpp-build-tools/)
but, I would try installing everything on an updated environment.

Thanks, I'll do both.

Hi! I am getting the same error but I am trying to still pipeline-live in python 3.6 on a MAC. is there any way I could install it without the visual studio build tools?

[shlomiku]

what are the errors you get?

[Nicosunaa]

I tried to install it using conda install in a python 3.6 environment and it appears the following:

PackagesNotFoundError: The following packages are not available from current channels:

• pipeline-live

Current channels:

• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/osx-64
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/noarch
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/osx-64
• https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/r/noarch

I also tried to install it using pip (python3.6) install but it does not appear as a package when working in PyCharm

Hi,
I just installed it using pip in the command line.
try using the command line and run: pip install pipeline-live
