@Vector-9974 - try installing Visual Studio (not VS Code, but Visual studio) - it appears that you are lacking a C++ compiler on your PC. During the installation, make sure to add the C++ build tools in the installer selection options. Then run the pip install of the package again.

If using python 3.11, downgrade to python 3.10
